Misconception #7. SPF is all that matters.

Fact: The SPF number on sunscreens only reflects the product’s screening ability for UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen covers both UVB and UVA rays. While UVB rays cause sunburn; UVA rays cause more long-term effects such as premature skin aging.

Misconception #6. Apply sunscreen just before you go out.

Fact: Sunscreen should be applied 20-30 minutes BEFORE you go out. It doesn’t work immediately.

Misconception #5. I should replace my sunscreen every summer.

Fact: Unless indicated by an expiration date, the FDA requires that all sunscreens be stable and at their original strength for at least three years.

Fall is upon us. You can feel the briskness in the air. You can see different colored leaves in the trees. As you walk down the sidewalk you can hear the crunch of the fallen leaves under your feet. It’s deer hunting season. Deer are scampering so they don’t get shot by hunters. You can go visit an apple orchard to buy donuts, apple cider and apples. Children are back to school giving their parents a needed break. Time to do the Christmas shopping before it snows. The stores will get busy soon. So much to do.

The tourist season in Croatia has kicked off with a good start. Over the next couple of months the life on the Adriatic coast becomes one hectic beehive.

Down in the deep south, Dubrovnik becomes an open stage where the rich, the famous, the wannabees mingle together during Dubrovnik Festival and where joy and laughter can be heard at every street corner. What is more, the life in the Old Town never ceases to stop. The hordes of night birds are replaced by ever excited tourists from the visiting cruisers. Mesmerizing looks on their faces are truly justifying Bernard Shaw’s famous sentence comparing Dubrovnik to paradise.
City wall walk is on a must to do list of every cruiser tourist. Do not forget to take some water with you as the heat can get the better of you. Also, remember that you can safely withdraw local currency (kunas) from ATMs and what is more you can use your card safely at POS terminals.

On our way to Mpumalanga for a well deserved break, Bronwyn, Ryno and I decided that we were going on a road trip. We wanted to experience a Kruger Park safari. We were headed from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park where we were going to stay for three nights at the Phumulani lodge. Now some might say that we were absolutely crazy, but that’s what we’ve always done: unplanned road trips and outings that never go according to plan, but somehow always worked out and worth every minute.

If you are into outdoor activities, such as hunting, maybe taking a nature walk, or just going to catch a ball game, then you already the know the importance of a good set of binoculars.

A good set allows you to see things a far distance away with a sharp clear picture and with little focus adjustments as possible. A bad pair has you throwing them into the garbage.
