Interesting facts about Genghis Khan

Founding father of Mongolia - good guy or 

bad?

When you travel to Mongolia, you’ll hear all about Genghis Khan.  Most of us think of him as a blood-thirsty leader that left a trail of death and destruction in his wake as he went on to conquer China, Beijing and Russia to create the world’s largest empire.  It stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Sea of Japan, with over 700 tribes and cities under his rule.  Over a period of 21 years he conquered nearly 12-million square miles of territory. But was he such a bad guy?

Spontaneous breaks to explore quaint towns are what make the trip so memorable. Falling in love with the people you meet along the way is just a bonus.

Cape Route 62 - Ride an ostrich in Oudtshoorn

Cape Route 62 - Explore the Cango Caves

The world-famous Cango Caves are located in Precambrian limestone at the foothills of the Swartberg range near the town of Oudtshoorn.

The extraordinary cave system is over 4 km long but only about a quarter of it is open to tourists. Some of the limestone formations have been dated back to 4 500 million years ago and it truly is a natural wonderland.

Cape Route 62 - dine on the best lamb in the world

If your travel guide doesn’t introduce you to the simple delights of Karoo lamb, ask for your money back.  Before the end of a holiday to South Africa you should have at least sampled a delicious Karoo lamb chop (one won’t be enough).

Greetings from Chile

The majority of Chileans speak Chilean Spanish.  If you brush up on your Spanish before a holiday to Chile you’ll get by greeting someone but don’t be surprised if their reply sounds like Greek. Chilean Spanish is very different and a source of national pride.  They speak like they’re commentating at the horse races - fast and excitable.  It is a dialect of Spanish with distinct pronunciation, modified verb tenses and weird vocabulary.  It’s full of slang words and sometimes an entire sentence sounds like one long word.Bookmark/Search this post with Facebook LikeGoogle Plus OneLinkedin Share ButtonShare on FacebookTweet Widget
