via ferrata - Magaliesberg Adventure - Urban Adventure

Magalies via ferrata, South Africa Ok, so those of you who know me know that I have a fear of heights, actually I think it is more of a fear of not been in control, something I have to be when I work as a paramedic. This is why I love adventures so much as it really takes me out of my comfort zone and throws me into a situation where I am not in control, not in charge but at the mercy of Mother Nature and the elements, something that actually both excites and terrifies me, but none the less brings me back time and time again for that thrill of the unknown. In my job if I give up or fail someone dies and in adventures often its the turning back or "giving up" that keeps you alive and allows you come come back and try again until you succeed. The real adventure is the journey while making your way to the top, if you get there and then back down in one piece to live the tale and sit around the fire place one day telling your captivated audience of little grandchildren ho...

The mountains are alive with...chocolate!

  My family recently spent a week at Monk's Cowl camping site, deep in the Drakensberg mountains, and we were blessed to be able to hike every day. We have passed this little spot nestled within the 'Valley", as the locals refer to the area, a couple of times, but never went inside.

Russian Adventure: St Basil's cathedral - Red Square

copyright Kim Williams This was a dream come true to be standing in front of the this huge gingerbread house that I had wondered about my entire life. As a little girl I had dreamed and wished that I would be able to see this incredible building before I die and here I was standing in front of this incredible church.   So much myth and legend has followed this breathtaking building and its surprising that little seems to be known about this church. I found myself half expecting Hansel and Gretel to pop their heads out and offer me some tea and biscuits as I stood at the bottom and gazed up into a fantasy world.  A visual art of epic kaleidoscope proportions.  selfie in front of St Basil's cathedral It is so hard to describe what a visual impact this place has, just how huge...no colossal these buildings are, just how grand and beautifully ornate. You have to appreciate the painstaking hours, years it took to complete these buildings, a...
