Hey @susanne, what a great idea to decamp for one month to work! This is the great thing about work today is that most of us only need a laptop and a phone and....er... the internet (sounds like the latter was a problem in the honeymoon leg of the trip - maybe they prefer their holiday residents to be thinking about "other things" than surfing the web ;)).
I am guessing that the new environment to work in lets you get more creative and clears your head. I normally find that searching out new coffee shops to work in (or even the train) allows me to get a load more done - and it sounds like you were super-productive in Cape Town!
A month away to work sounds like a plan....
