We chose to end our South African trip (and in fact our two months in Africa) in Johannesburg, South Africa’s biggest city. This was mainly because our ten-year anniversary trip package ended there, rather than any particular desire to see the city.

At home, we visit many wineries, as we’re lucky to live so close to some of the best wineries in Australia. Unfortunately, when we left Australia to go travelling, it meant giving up on wine...
