Hi everyone. Arrived last night in Port Elizabeth. First impressions: VERY RUN DOWN!! People are quite unhelpful and everything is closed- its saturday (very strange) Our hostel is very nice, well actually, its a family home. They make us breakfast in bed in the morning,. either a continental or English! It cost 85R which is only about 6 pounds a night (which is actually expensive as hostels go!!
