Additional information
by Pearl Howie (Author)
I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn't even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought "Wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, spa, flight and restaurant." So that's what I did.My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure - without getting bogged down with too many choices or details. Although there are several places to stay in this guide, I had to include them all, as each stay was either a trip of a lifetime or a necessary pit stop on long drives.Durban and the surrounding area is enough to make you fall in love with South Africa, with several amazing adventures to be had; go east for hippo, rhino, crocodiles and much, much more, go west to learn about sharks and the Zulu culture. You will not be disappointed, even if you don't like the look of the pier. (And do check out the sister guide to Johannesburg if you want to have a longer trip in South Africa - the two go together beautifully.)I am now an Amazon Best Seller in the Travel, Exercise & Fitness and Motivational Self-Help charts, and have been publishing the Pearl Escapes books since 2010, helping thousands of readers to escape."You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.""I loved the book. I think every reader will have the feeling of oh yes she understands the way I feel about massage and spas & yoga. That is your gift, everyone has the feeling you're talking to them. I sat down to read a little bit at 10am it's now almost 3pm I did take a small lunch break.""I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving." "I've just booked my first holiday in 13 years!""I love that you tell us where the best free loos are - this is priceless information that your average guidebook wouldn't give...""To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!" Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"
