Wed 15th October Woke up and went for breakfast accross the road from our hotel before catching the mini bus to Kanchanaburi. After the 2 hour journey we arrived and checked into our lodge (bungalows raised above the river Kwai) - the first bungalow we were given we watched a green snake slither up the steps, onto the outdoor chair and find a whole in the wall and then enter into the room! Luckily the lady politely gave us another room that was spare, and gave i...

Saturday 11th October Arrived into Bangkok after 20 hour journey. Flew from Cape Town, stopped in Joberg and then a two hour stop at Doha airport. Security at Doha is interesting to put it at best. Next leg from Doha we found ourselves on a plane that must have been less than a third full...sweeettttt!

Mon 6th October (Road Trip) Up nice and early to hitch a ride to the centre of the city with Nathan.

All geared up to...

Sun 5th October Started the day with a big breakfast, full of carbs and protein setting us up for our WALK/CLIMB up Table Mountain, while booking up our excursion to Bloukrans Bridge for our 216m bungee jump!!! Safe to say that Emily had a s*** breakfast after a bird pooed on her (haha), but managed to cheer her up when I reassured that it is good luck, and that the rope won't snap on us during the bungee :). So now were making our way to table mountain with Na...

Wed 1st October Arrived to a windy, but sunny Cape Town after a nice 2 hour flight from Durban. Very different atmosphere compared to Durban with everyone noticeably more laid back. Uncle Nathan greeted us at the airport before heading back to his house (in a Mini of course, inconspicuously parked in the car park...the graphics on the car are craaazzaaayyy). So we got to the house, off loaded the backpacks and chilled for a couple of hours, catching up before op...
