Back home!!! My last week in South Africa was fantastic! I made my way to Cape Town from Port Elizabeth aboard the Baz Bus!! The view of Cape Town with Table Mountain as it backdrop is unbelievable! table Mountain is magestic even on a bad day!! The weather in Cape Town is included in every conversation and the city is known to experience all four seasons in one day!! I can certainly vouch for this and was unsure what to wear most days (here i was helped out b...

All aboard the BAZ BUS!!! Due to only having a short time in South Africa I didnt want to miss out on seeing as much of the country as I could so I opted for the Baz Bus, a backpackers transportation across the country via mini bus, comfier than you'd think. We took the long drive through to Durban wher we weaved our way through the Drakensburg National Park, awesome!! Such spectacular scenery.. When in Durban I was taken to my histel, another perk of the good ...

Back in Melbourne... And Im freezing!! Arrived back in Melbourne late afternoon and it was cold! Autum was here and letting everyone know that winter wasnt long behind!! I have taken to wearing two t-shirts under a jumper and also football sock to keep the warmth in!! Its amazing how quickly my body adapted to the warmth and humidity of Queensland, I hope it doesnt take long to re-acclimatise! Hopefully I have a warm English summer ahead of me otherwise I may st...
