Mongolia with Rensina

February 10, 2020 by Rosemary

Mongolia

22 day Mongolia tour is for women7th to 28th August 2020 How do I describe the intense blueness of a Mongolian lake? Or the sheer expanse of an enormous valley; embellished by majestic mountains for a full 360 degree view? What is the feeling I experience as I immerse myself into a rustic rock pool; as the hot mineral rich waters swirl around my body? Or the ‘slowing down/grounded’ feeling that descends upon me as I spend time with warm … [Read more...]

A West African Border

August 25, 2019 by Rosemary

Through the Sahara

Allen stops the truck amidst a billowing cloud of red dust. In Australia we call it; bull dust. Fine like talcum powder and it gets in everywhere; in the truck, in your clothes and in your ears, nose and mouth. It’s hot, intensely hot, unbelievably hot, 43C-45C and has been for weeks. Night time in the back of the truck is like sleeping in a slippery lather of salty body fluids, never cooling down below 35C; and people tell me, “Ah, but this … [Read more...]

Mongolia – Food Glorious Food

April 4, 2019 by Rosemary

Rensina van Den Heuval regularly takes small trips to Mongolia - you can join her 24 August - 9 September 2019 this year More. Here she writes about food in Mongolia. Dumplings... Sitting in a teeny cafe in a Gobi desert town of Dalanzadgad, I see a very tall young Mongolian man saunter through the door. Everything about him is big. His presence, his walk and his traditional brown leather boots with pointy turned up toes. I am guessing … [Read more...]

Mongolia in July?

May 20, 2018 by Rosemary

Mongolia

Rensina van Den Heuval loves Mongolia and invites you to join her in July this year for the trip of a lifetime... Mongolia is a magnificent country, the culture is intact and strong and her nomadic people are unique and special. Mongolia retains her wildness. Having spent a lot of time travelling across and exploring the countryside, I love to share it with other people who want to take a little time out of their faster paced western lives and … [Read more...]

West Coast of Africa

October 9, 2017 by Rosemary

The West Coast of Africa is a place that I have dreamed of travelling in for a ‘lifetime’…but the opportunity never presented itself and I was always busy ‘doing’ other things. I have travelled in many countries now and as the world has changed a lot since my teenage dreams of it, Africa has waited. Rensina van den Heuvel writes: But I am 61 now and time waits for no one. As my overlander travelling partner, love of my life and treasured … [Read more...]

Walk with Camels

June 11, 2017 by Rosemary

rensina - walk with camels - overland trekking

Rensina is once again heading overland.  This time in Australia. "Just stay up on the wagon, hang on to the reins and hold the handbrake as well; in case they bolt," Debbie yelled at me as she attempted to control the two huge woolly beasts which she has just harnessed to the wagon which I am now standing on. Truth be known I was actually clinging on; in an elevated state of alert....not quite panic. My adrenaline levels hit a new high when … [Read more...]

Rensina Overland – Part Two

October 25, 2014 by Rosemary

Rensina van den Heuvel overland

This story continues with Rensina van den Heuvel  traveling overland from Finland in an old Russian truck First part of the Story here Right now as I write this, we are parked on the edge of the Bay of Finland, outside Tallin in Estonia. There's just twenty metres or so to the water, so the view would be great except that the windows are fogged up and the sky is as grey as a slate floor. It's still wet, wet, wet and was bucketing down when we … [Read more...]
