Restaurateurs presumably aspire for excellence in the kitchen and then complement this with d. Take Simons for instance. Exquisite setting nestled in the bosom of Groot Constantia right there in the shadow of Constantia Berg. The slick set- up with great d. So far, Michelin material. Or so we thought. How wrong we were. We made a booking, arrived to be told no booking existed, but, as the restaurant was empty, we were granted a table. Sat down, couldn’t read the menu as the lights were way to dim. Had to ask for extra candles (really), and discovered a French inspired menu with some serious grammar errors on it (if a restaurant attempts half of the menu in French, they should perhaps send it to Alliance Fran.

Wanna sleep like the dead? Haunted accommodations can be found here . Whether you’re looking for top shelf spirits, or you’re more of a fish and chips and pint type of traveler, you’ll find a bit of both in here. The haunted house is the bedrock of gothic horror. Luckily, historic homes that are open to the public often have their own ghosts. With others you can be content standing outside in the dark of night, peering up at the darkened upstairs corner window. Public buildings of the past aren’t without their own charms, and quite often their own spirits. Some towns and cities are more haunted than others.

Herein is a guide to some of the creepier towns, villages and cities that make for curious destinations.

Death is the ultimate misery, the ultimate curiosity and it’s something we all face. Some run, some embrace the thought. You find us loitering in cemeteries on moonlit nights.

From the over the top, ghastly thrills of Horseman’s Hollow, to the more traditional Legend of Sleepy Hollow recanted in the very same Old Dutch Church, to the horrors of our fellow man in Cry Innocent in Salem, there are plenty of opportunities to sit back and be entertained.
