Why you ought to try a hot air balloon ride

If you've booked an African safari or simply feeling for an adventure, I would highly recommend going on a hot air balloon ride. Never-mind the fact that these huge balloons are incredible in itself, actually experiencing it for yourself will definitely be an unforgettable experience.

Balloons dotted across the sky.


There's nothing comparable to floating across the sky, feeling the open air and gaining a bird's eye view of the landscape. Here are four reasons to try it out:

1. It's inspiring

Hot air balloon flights usually happen during the early morning or the late evening, either way it's during pretty romantic times of the day - picture the skyline streaked with rose and tangerine - instant inspiration!

2. It's a bucket list adventure

Everyone has their own personal list of things that have to do or experience in their lifetime and if hot air ballooning is one of it then that's wonderful! If you are yet to draw up a bucket list, consider adding a hot air balloon ride to the list - you wont regret it.

3. It's an adventure

It may not be an adventure on par with Indiana Jones' exploits, but gliding through the sky is a close alternative.

4. It's Enlightening

The sights, sounds and smells are completely different to soaring the sky in an airplane. It's intimate and immediate.

Getting to the heart of the matter

Heart murmurs in children can be an especially tricky condition to diagnose and many children will, at some point, play host to a heart murmur. The good news is that most heart murmurs are harmless – but it definitely helps to know the facts:

There are two classifications of abnormal heart sounds known as functional and pathological.

  • Functional: This is a normal heart murmur that’s characterised by loud sounds produced by turbulent blood flow in the heart. 
  • Pathological: A more sinister classification, this type of heart murmur is characterised by loud sounds of the heart which is caused by restrictions in the opening of a heart valve.

Green Point accommodation


Staying in Green Point accommodation is a wonderful choice, as you have easy access to Cape Town’s scintillating CBD, including the expansive V&A. Luxurious yachts and catamarans bob gently in the harbor, hinting at an affluent, elevated lifestyle that most of us dream of. If you fancy a day of fun in the sun, then opt for one of the boat tours regularly leaving the docks and enjoy a wonderful cruise around the bay, admiring some of Cape Town’s highlights from the sea. Look out for the iconic Table Mountain towering in the distance, along with the unmistakably shaped and aptly named, Lion’s Head

Having your health checks, screens and tests done

To ensure that the appropriate screenings, depending on your risk factors and lifestyle, are done, you should consult your medical practitioner or GP. As it is better to be aware of a potential risk and to take preventative measures or start with possible curing methods in time, these tests and examinations will help to put your worries to rest.

To make certain that you have affordable life cover before you turn 65, you should look into reasonable life cover insurance quotes that will be dependent on your risk profile and medical history . It is safer to be conscious of the possibility that you may not always be able to take care of your family and that you will have to provide for their future financial needs by getting life insurance  so that they can also experience peace of mind, than to be taken out of the picture without proper investments in place.

Surprise your loved one by having your health checks, screens and tests done, and she may just bowl you over with tickets when India tour South Africa for the next test series, or even for The Ashes if you’re lucky enough to visit abroad.

Protect Your Automotive Investment


My son has never been interested in paying for cover of any kind. He only sees as far as his nose and
wants the money in his pocket now. No matter what I tell him of my past experience, the belief that
"It won't happen to me" is just to set in his mind for the time being. He won't even get himself some
personal insurance at the very lest.

So I have now decided to look into it myself and find something affordable to at least give me some peace of mind. After looking into I've decided to take out some ford fiesta insurance (on my sons car), some ford bantam insurance (on my own car) and nissan micra insurance on my wife's car. I found the premiums so low that I just couldn't resist taking them all onto my own name, for a small price I can protect my whole family.
