RetiredAndTravelling Travel Blog

We are RetiredAndTravelling around the world. When we semi-retired early, it gave us the opportunity to travel about 6 months of the year in multiple trips. Our trips included both cruising travel and land-based travel spots. Some are short long weekend breaks. But we also cover longer trips that cover multiple cities and countries for 30 to 60 days.

When we travel we love to explore towns and nature spots. Adventure travel gets our blood moving. And we have been known to travel for food, wine tasting and to splurge on Afternoon Tea.

Our travel blog posts are in-depth and filled with pictures. Travel summaries provide an overview of trips with links to the detailed posts. We always try to offer travel tips to help you plan and enjoy the experiences when you travel.

We hope the RetiredAndTravelling travel blog will help to fuel your travel wanderlust!

Africa Travel

Blog posts about Africa travel. On land this included road trips, day trips around the countries and fun adventures. By sea we cruised around the around various African countries.

Africa travel on land included day excursions in Cape Verde, Kenya, the Seychelles, Zanzibar, Madagascar, Egypt and South Africa.

A long stay in Cape Town in South Africa provided opportunities for exploration of the city and day trips in the region.

One very long cruise for over 50 days moved us about on our Africa travel.
