Ok, its now Friday 20th and we have just arrived in South Africa!! Our tour finishes on Sunday - looking back now its gone so quick!

We have been through Namibia which was brilliant, we did so much whilst there and it really wasn't a place i expected much from. On our last night in Botswana Dave managed to find a snake about 2 meters from our tent - our guide told us it was a puffed ada, poisonous!! unfortunately for us the guards were too scared to move it so needless to say we didn't leave our tent to go to the toilet that night!

Once in Namibia we stayed at a hostel in Windhoek and picked up some newbies so we all went to a game restaurant to try some game meat - i chose kudu which is like gazelle and Dave had a mix so Ostrich, kudu, zebra, springbok and oryx - ostrich was Dave's fav - mine was good too but felt guilty half way through so Dave finished mine!

Next we stated in Etosha National park which was amazing - its partly a camp site but also has posh chalets which overlook a waterhole. On our first night we went down there - it was viewing seats and lights and we say three rhino's - two starting to fight (and the other just farted!?) the next night we saw more rhino's, five altogether two babies too and an elephant decided to come down and wash his willy!! - Waterhole really was great, saw so much there we decided not to bother going on an evening game drive.

After Etosha we went to Cape Cross and saw all the seals - most had babies within the last 24 hours! Not everyone liked it because of the smell but me and Dave were enterained with the big bull seals and the pups. From there we stayed in another hostel in Swakupmond - was was told to be careful here and not go out anywhere at night on our own nor use the ATM after dark - this was proven on the first night as one of our tour group when to the ATM around dusk and had her card snatched! Other then that Swakupmond was really good - we stayed there two nights and went out each night but all stayed together as a group and everything was ok. We booked to go sandboarding, Dave was ok but i wasn't so good!! You have to walk up the dune's each time (90 meters high!) whilst carrying your board and wearing some dodgy shoes so my main problem was just getting up the bloody dune!! Bought some pics and a DVD though to prove i actually did do a little bit of surfing! After that Dave went straight to do some quading with the rest of the group - he got a little bored following the guide so im told he made his own little route! ;-)

Ok so now we are in South Africa, Dave is fishing as im writing this and we should be in Cape Town by Sunday - have managed to book ourselves into one of the top 20 party hostels in the world called Carnival Court - oops

Will try and update this again after Cape Town and let you know of our tales from there but as of Friday 27th we will be in Thailand!!!!
