We arrived in the rain grateful for the fact we had our own room and would not have to put up the tent in the rain. It was raining worse than we had seen so far and was pretty cold even by England standards. Places out here are not built for the rain so we stood in a cold kitchen cooking while parts of trees kept hitting the roof. Slept in quite late the next day as we deffinately needed the sleep and were getting used to sleeping in a nice soft bed for a chang...

We had a night in Durban in a bed in a dorm but after so long camping for some reson could not sleep. Onto Saint Lucia, first day we arrived did little but hang around the hostel a really good hostel with a great bunch of people. We went out to a pub that was through a fish and chip shop a good idea for the late night munchies. One young girl with us threw up in the bathroom and then left. We could not find her and even tried knocking on her room. In the mor...

Our first stop after PE was Chinsa a very nice place on the beach.

Next day very like the one before except no volleyball and no white win...

We would not have done had we of known there were no rapids, I think everyone on the trip was disapointed. We did little else but hang around the hostel befor...

It was very windy when we arrived in Plettenberg Bay we just about managed to get the tent up. Next day we headed off to Robben Cape National Park. To get there we had to walk an hour along beach it was nice walk on the beach. Great views of the penisula, Plettenberg Bay and of the expensive beachside properties. Inside the park the walk was all along the cliffs it was up and down but not to hard work. We got to see lots of seals and seabirds. On the West s...
