  • A pretty idyllic sunrise to end this incredible week on the Canal Lateral Sur Loire, through the breathtaking #Loire region of #France. If you ever have the opportunity or inclination, book yourself a boating week. I've never done anything remotely like this and really had no idea what the trip held in store. What I know for sure is I'm certainly doing this again through Italy when I get the chance. Most surprising is the affordability of a week and experience like this; I've had a lot of questions about pricing and our 7 day adventure aboard the Horizon 4 (4 cabins, 8/9 sleeper) cost R40k, not bad shared between 4-8 people considering it's both your transport and accommodation for the week. We spent way less on food than we anticipated (€200 on groceries in total) and didn't eat out as most restaurants were closed for the 'winter' season. I loved our little home-cooked meals and we ate like kings thanks to @tailsofamermaid. You can check out @leboatvacations' extensive list of routes, boats and prices via their website. Thanks to @knowroaming for keeping us connected, @spreecoza for enabling us to live out our French fantasy in red, white, navy and stripes, and of course, @leboatvacations for the adventure of a lifetime. A million mercis 🚤👩🏼‍✈️👌🏻🇫🇷❤️ #LoveLeBoat #LeBoatVacations
  • It's our final day on the canal and a peachy 24 degrees; we've been so lucky with this uncharacteristic summer weather! We've got our nose pointed toward Decize where we'll spend our last night before heading back to Paris via train in the morning. We've stayed connected on this trip and on the boat with @knowroaming which has been a life-saver! If you're traveling abroad from SA, stay in touch and (more importantly) in budget with a Know Roaming SIM card // 🚤 @leboatvacations // 📷 @tailsofamermaid
  • Our sweet ride for the week, @leboatvacations' Horizon 4. I've answered a bunch o' questions about the logistics of our trip via Instastory, you can check it out for the next few hours. Parked at this picturesque little spot to head to the neighbouring village to buy groceries for the rest of our journey. Tip: if you're traveling out of season be sure to stock up on groceries as many of the shops and villages shut down for winter 🚤
  • Picking poppies in fields beside the canal. Got to one of the locks during lunch-hour today so pulled over and explored the neighboring farms 🌺 // Pale blue off the shoulder maternity dress from @spreecoza #SummerOnMySkyline // 🚤 @leboatvacations // 📷 @tailsofamermaid
  • Bicycle baskets were intended for baguettes, non? Riding into town with @tailsofamermaid for a pit stop at one of Briare's boulangeries // 🚤 @leboatvacations
  • Had the most incredible experience exploring Sancerre and Chavignol with 3rd generation wine-maker Arnaud Bourgeois of @domaine_henri_bourgeois today. Arnaud, who happens to be married to a South African, showed us around his Sauvignon-Blanc and Pinot-Noir vineyards and we finished off in his cellar trying the family's outstanding wines. The great thing about traveling the region by boat is there's a lot to do along the way if you're keen for a little adventure 🍷 // On a completely separate note, I finally invested in a pair of maternity jeans and it's a game-changer being able to wear denims that fit, yay! These babies are from @spreecoza // 🚤 @leboatvacations
  • Spending a week on the water with @leboatvacations, cruising from Chatillon Sur Loire to Decize through the picturesque Loire Region. Although it's the end of the season I'm so glad we decided to do the trip now as the autumn colours along the canals are just breathtaking. Shout if you've got any questions about this bucket-list self-drive boating experience 👩🏼‍✈️#LeBoatVacations 📷 @tailsofamermaid
  • The avenues of #Versailles are mesmerising; if you ever get the opportunity to explore the gardens at the palace you should. You can skip the actual palace in my opinion and head straight for the gardens armed with a couple of baguettes and comfortable shoes 🌱 Maternity dress from @spreecoza #SpreeXBrandslut
  • Almost had to remortgage my apartment to afford these Ladurée macarons at the Palace of Versailles. We explored the magnificent gardens via golf-cart (recommended) and had a magical day out in the countryside 🍰
