So we woke up after a nosiy night in the hostel at midday due to jet lag I had trouble getting to sleep to start with even though i was tired and it didnt help that we could hear our neighbours conversation in full. But never mind, i didnt tell you about our room as we:re staying in the annex of the hostel but even then we:re in another extra bit which has 5 rooms (all doubles i think) which has its own little kitchen area, shower, sinks and toilets, so thats qui...

Hi so we made it to our second destination! after a delay on our flight from Jo'burg, which meant we missed our connecting flight in Hong Kong - not what you want when you get off a 13hour flight! but it was fine the staff at HK had already booked everyone who was getting a connection and missed it onto the next available flight so instead of flying at 9.05am we flew at 10.30am which was fine. That was then another 4 hour flight and the time difference between...

Then we saw a leopard just before lunch eating an already dead impala, it was a bit difficult to see because of the long grass, but you could just see it's head bobbing up and down while ripping it apart! On our last full day...

Well we arrived in Johannesburg and got picked up and taken to the hostel, which is pretty out of the way but has a couple of shops within walking distance - as no where in j'burg is really safe to walk esp for white girls. We didnt do much on Tuesday when we arrived except sit in the sun and catch up on sleep we didnt have on the plane - even though we were lucky enough to get ugraded on the flight from Heathrow to J'burg - Thanks Barry!! On Wednesday we went...
