As a self-declared travel blogger who relies heavily on the presence of disfunction & disorder as to create memorable, and occasionally laughable posts, every now and then I am confronted with an unavoidable predicament. A situation whereby no matter how hard I try, and how much sarcasm I utilize, I am unable to find any eccentricities or unconventionalities (thank you Thesaurus) in our travels. No hilarious interactions. No unexplainable phenomenon. Just an overall agreeable & pleasant journey. You know, the type that warms the grandparents’ hearts yet causes everyone else to try “swipe right” (bad is right, right?). Yes, that.
However, since I made the inane personal promise to release a new blog post each and every week, it is my solemn duty to abide by this undertaking. Despite the insurmountable challenge it poses to my self-worth as an amateur blogger. Because, at the end of the day, there is a small fraction of blog readers who blame us for allegedly “stealing” their grandchildren, and from time to time, we do need to appease them, despite the repercussions such a decision has on the “comedic element” of these blog posts. Thus, to compromise on all fronts, please find a fairly abridged and CliffsNotes-esque version of our weekend getaway, with the occasionally interspersed attempts at failed humor:
What were the highlights?
What were the lowlights?
And there you have it. A very nice. Very enjoyable. Somewhat relaxing. Overall agreeable, weekend away. Onto the pics:

Unfortunately Reese's has not ventured over to the African continent. Thus, Lindt Dark Mint was the secondary chocolate of choice. Has a nice ring to it though, wouldn't you say?
