My last blog from South Africa! (or at least for the time being ;) ) And yet another week has flown by. I passed the milestone of 50 days on October 6, which means that after that only less than half was left. And now I'm already on day 61, and yesterday I had to say 'See you soon' to best friend Nouki as well as to South Africa.. Very sad! Spending 17 days with someone so close during 100 days of travelling by yourself has been unbelievably nice, and I am very ...

Hi! I had a proper goodbye party with friends of Addo in PE, and with a proper hangover I left my home of 2 weeks. Off to new places! After Addo I went with the Bazbus to Coffee Bay, which is in the Transkei region. This is the poorest area of Africa, and driving through the scenery we finally had the feeling we were in Africa. Our driver handed out bread along the way to the kids in the townships, which are located next to the high way, and it was the first ti...

Hi all! As I have to kill some time waiting for my pick-up now, I figured I'd throw in another update as I already have so much to tell again from these past 5 days. Okay, so Sunday evening I went out with a French couple whom I'd met via the couchsurf network, and together with my host we went iceskating! It seemed fitting that since I started my week bowling at the same place, I would end my Cape Town-time iceskating there :) After a fun time I had to say goo...

Goodmorning! Exactly a week ago today I arrived in Cape Town as my first stop in my journey, and it has been GREAT. Got to do and see so much, and mostly because of the fact that I am couchsurfing. I had a great time on Wednesday when we hiked up St. James Peak, and the view of Cape Town was amazing. Last time I wrote that I still had 2 hands and 10 fingers. At the moment it is 2 hands and 9 functioning fingers.. And it all happened on the day I went diving wit...
