The Honest Jonny | BLOG

"Honest Jonny" is BACK from a very long non-blogging holiday. Seems like the "vacation" has inspired ol "Jonny", check in every Monday for the latest and greatest from the commander in chief.

Budget Holiday.....

I don't know about all of you, but I am stressed. My only friend at the moment seems to be Tito Mboweni with his interest rate cuts that help out with all the loan repayments. News headlines of last week included, "Recession to be worst in living memory", "Car sales figures slump" and many more bad news stories. So there is every reason why people are feeling stressed from an economic perspective. However the reason for the blog is that perhaps given the doom and gloom there is light at the end of the tunnel.

In my opinion the best way to relieve stress is with a good holiday, the best holiday around is a Mauritius Beach Holiday. Mauritius as a destination is struggling & tourist numbers from all countries have dropped dramatically, the good news is that prices to Mauritius have never been better. The many all inclusive offers at the various Beachcomber Resorts also mean that once there you seriously do not need to put your hands in your pockets again.

The Le Mauricia all inclusive 7 night option is currently priced at under R10 000, now this is cheaper than a trip down to Cape Town for the same length of time! There are also many honeymoon & special offers around so if your timing is flexible you can use this to your advantage and get great value on an unbelievable holiday. Mauritius truly is a world class destination and what better way to recharge relax, destress & all for potentially less than R10 000.

I don't know about you but I think I might just take up one of these recession beater offers & get some sun time in Mauritius. Oh and by the way Tito please continue your slashing of interest rates come the end of the month.
