So I made it to Mozambique-can't say thier border crossing is the easiest in the world-but we got through. After 7ish hours on a bus we arrived in Maputu-a typical East African capital city-run down but full of character. My first stay thier left me no time to explore, as it was off to Tofo, 7 hours up the coast, on a bus at 5am the next morning. The second stay there was much nicer.From my hostel, the base, I managed to explore some of the old and newer bits of...

After getting picked up from JoBerg at some silly hour in the morning, myself and two other girls, who were studying in Stellenbosch, arrived at Kasane, the village and gateway to Chobe National Park-one of Botswanas best parks to see elephants...and we weren't dissapointed. The camp we stayed at was a campsite and luxury lodge-so we got swim in the pool, listen to the poolside band and slip cocktails like we were celebraties...even though we were anything but! ...

So I finally made it to South Africa. After a 14hour flight I was whisked through the city-(it's huge!) to my hostel.

After coming back from Moz, I spent one more day in JoBerg...why? To see the apartied museum of course! It was very thought provoking from the start-when we ...

And so we made it to Vic Falls. The thing that struck me most in Zimbabwe is the people and the country itself are beautiful-there is just nothing there. It was very expensive to eat anything, the supermarkets were bare, but everyone tried so hard to please us. We were staying in a camp site in the village itself, with a pool and bar-so we didn't feel too remote or untouristy! On our first day we had a river cruise down the Zambezi, spotting a few hippos playin...

Christchurch-the most English of cities in New Zealand-not that English-I was very dissapointed to learn that you couldn't punt yourself down the River Avon (guided tours only)-what kind of fun is that? I spent my days in New Brighton-a bit different to the one in the UK, but less gays, more surfers. Went walking around a place called Taylors Mistake, a beach that leads to a series of bays around a beautiful penninsula. Men went diving and I went sunbathing-it w...
