Finally i get to the internet for long enough to write on here! Its been a pretty hectic few weeks and i can't believe i only have 4 more nights left in my tent. I don't have heaps of time so i'll give you a brief overview of what truck-life has been like.. Theres 20 of us on the truck (3 couples, 1 family, 9 girls and 1 guy) and everyone gets on well. We have 4 teams and take it in turns to cook, clean and guard the truck. So far i've gained the reputation of c...

And so my backpacking time has almost come to an end. My overland tour starts tomorrow morning (www.africantrails.co.uk then vic falls - cape town if your interested..) and then its nearly time to come home! I've been in livingstone now for 5 days and I've had a fantastic time. I arrived on Wednesday and just had a relaxing day snoozing around the pool - I had been travelling for 2 days and slept at Joburg airport - and met a few people that night. The next day ...

Even if you only have a week, go to Mozambique! It was fantastic and i loved every minute of it - didn't want to leave, especially as all the guys i was travelling with are still there.

So off we trotted there and got bundled on with a...

So I finally made it here and didn't die of boredom in J'burg airport, although it was close! Especially when, after already waiting 7hours, they annouced my flight had been cancelled. No hassle though as we all just got booked on to the next flight 2 hours later. When we landed it took an age to get my visa etc so i finally got to my hostel at 9pm and was absolutely knackered after getting up at 4am. The fun didn't end there though as due to my late arrival my ...

Ho hum, I have so far been at Jo'burg airport since 8.15am and time is passing veeeery slowly. My flight to Maputo doesn't leave until 17.50 so I'm attempting to keep busy. So far i've spent the morning in Mung&Bean and briefly browsed the shops - although its quite difficult with a huge backpack on and then another smaller one on the front. Infact scrap difficult and make it impossible! But to make matters worse on my return from Maputo I have a 14hour stin...
