We find these colorfully painted building interesting and befitting the somewhat flamboyant nature of Buenos Aires. |
I used the word "adventure" based on our perception of what adventure may be. To many, adventure connotes white water rafting, mountains climbing, bungee jumping and other physically related risk-taking events.
There are many designer-type furniture shops in the area. |
adventure
ədˈvɛntʃə/
noun
- 1.an unusual and exciting or daring experience.
"her recent adventures in Italy"
synonyms: exploit, escapade, deed, feat, trial, experience, incident, occurrence,
event, happening, episode, affair;
Perhaps, for us, all of it is an adventure. We've never considered we must put our physical beings in harm's way in order for our lives to qualify as an adventure.
Colorfully painted buildings are a common trend in Buenos Aires. |
Finally, yesterday, after checking prices for a few months, we booked our flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Nelspruit, Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa, a location other "adventurers" fly to in order to embark on their own personal journey on an insatiable quest for adventure.
Another colorfully painted building. |
Here are the details:

Travel time: 16 hours total (3 flights)
Depart: 12:50 PM, February 10, 2018

We flinched paying this high a fare for coach but, we made up for it a little when we were able to rent a car at the Nelspruit Airport for a total of 89 days for only US $1,750 (ARS 32,252) including all taxes, fees, and insurance which averages at US $583 (ARS 10,745) per month.
We plan to stay in Africa for up to 13 months and will share more details as we book further into the future, much of which will be outside of South Africa. But, we'll continue to return to Marloth Park after satisfying visa requirements for a maximum of 90 days as required in most African countries.
There isn't an abundance of flowers blooming at this time in the Palermo area. |
Tomorrow, we share details of what will be our new home beginning on February 11, 2018.
Thanks for stopping by!
