A change is as good as a holiday.A new look for “Travel & Things”.

In order to make access to the published postings quicker and simpler,

I have reviewed the headings…
Hopefully this will make the site more user friendly
and destination specific.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/My%20point%20of%20view
This is a brand new category and one that give me the opportunity
to express myself on certain topics.
No “ranting”, merely observational

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Travel%20%26%20Things%20Awards
I am very proud of the awards that the Blog has won to date

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Airlines%20and%20airports
Most travelers try to spend as little time in the air,
or in airports.
Unless you have access to a business class lounge or seat.

Find out who have been guests on my “Travel & Things”
radio show

I have seperated the podcasts from the guest lists.
Here you can catch up on shows that you might have missed,
or want to listen to again

This is one of the recent podcasts.

I do not take images of EVERY meal that I eat.
But the special ones are published here.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/roadtrips
In 2009, I an my daughter did a roadtrip to Cape Town.
It took us 9 days to get there from Johannesburg
and we enjoyed every minute!
It is something I highly recommend that every parent experience

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Spa%20destinations
I do enjoy being at a Spa, some are better than others.
You can read my opinions here

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/david%20batzofin%20photography
This covers a wide variety of subjects,
that I enjoy “shooting”

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Game%20Lodges
I started going to the bush in 1966 and I am happiest there.
I have been extremely lucky when it comes to my lodge visits
and these are the highlights

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Kruger%20National%20Park
My evry first bush experience was at this iconic reserve.
And, if you choose your accommodation correctly,
it is STILL an exciting destination

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Madikwe
My all time FAVOURITE game Reserve.
Closer to Johannesburg than Kruger,
it offers the “Big 5” as well as Wild Dog and Cheetah

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Botswana%2FChobe
This area is probably the most exciting game viewing area
in Southern Africa.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Western%20Cape
As my daughter currently lives in Cape Town,
I try to visit regularly…

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Eastern%20Cape
This is my home province.
It is underrated as a tourist destination,
but offers great beach and bush opportunities.
Not to mention the historical angle

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Kwa%20Zulu%20Natal
KZN is probably the richest province from a historical perspective.
It is also home to the Midlands Meander

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/North%20West%20Province
I have only visited this area once,
but I was taken aback by what it has to offer the adventure tourist

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Magaliesberg%20destinations
If you live in either Pretoria or Johannesburg,
then this area is a “must visit” destination.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Gauteng
The province in which I currently reside.
Even though it does not have an ocean, there is plenty to see and do

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/in%20and%20around%20Johannesburg
And never write of  Johannesburg…

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Linden
My suburb…that I love living in.
It is like “small town” South Africa…
but surrounded by a big city!

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Andy%27s%20Acoustic%20Forum
If you like acoustic music and live in Johannesburg,
then this is the place to be on the last Wednesday of every month

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/African%20destinations
Although I enjoy overseas travel,
I love visiting countries on our continent.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Insight%20Vacations%20Coach%20Tour
Never done a coach tour before?
Have a look at my experiences

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/International%20travel%20destinations
Our overseas travel has included many “bucket list” destinations.

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Cruises%20International
I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoy cruising.
Read of my experiences here

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Kilimanjaro%202006.
I stood on the top of this mountain in 2006…

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Kilimanjaro%202014
I did it again in 2014.
Both times to raise awareness for certain causes
Would I return again?
Watch this space…

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Mauritius
This is the first of the Islands I have visited.
Timing here is everything, so that you are not overrun by families
with small children

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Mozambique
Not quite an “island” venue, but you stay on the mainland
or visit one of the many islands.
I have done both

http://www.davidbatzofin.com/search/label/Zanzibar
An all time favourite island destination.
So much to see and do here.
