What an inspiring morning listening to some wonderful speakers but it was the positive message and the inkling of hope that left us all feeling a little lighter and a little brighter about tomorrow. And, coming
Dear Tourism KZN In mid-June we had the most wonderful holiday in Austria. Our old-man turned 70 and treated all his daughters and grandchildren to a special getaway. We voted to return to a place we had visited previously. Boring perhaps, but it had a story and a history and a connection and it’s a
