Last day in South Africa tomorrow so lil bit sad but excited about seeing the Far East. This week we climbed Table Mountain in a record 1h 30mins (suppossed to take 2h 30mins!), and it was apparant judging from the heavy breathing and profuse sweating at the top! Well worth it tho for some beautiful views of Cape Town and erry feeling of mist and altitude at the top. Then we hired a car and travelled up to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point which was also very...

Hello everyone! Just returned from some cage diving with the great white sharks of South Africa. Very exciting stuff-not quite as exhilarating as the bungee but well worth a go. Got some good snaps and vids of some of the sharks we encountered. Best part was one shark (weighing in at over 2 tons and 3-4ms long) smashing into our cage whilst wrestling with our skipper for bait. Def given me a taste for diving (watch out Mr Jeffries!). In a town called Hermanus w...

Wassup all! Sorry about the delay. Communication in SA is not quite up to par with the UK. Internet is very slow and unreliable (hence no pics yet, as takes too long too upload photos). Been on safari this weekend which was very cool-saw the big 5 (elephant,rhino,buffalo,lion and cheetah). Tried Kudu which was rather tasty and stayed in an african caravan (long story!). Survived the biggest bungee in the world yesterday which was awesome (sorry Mum!). Was not ...

Had muchos fun wine and cheese tasting yesterday in a lovely place called Stellenbosch, just east of CapeTown. Got rather boozy and learnt a thing or two about wine also (thats right Becky, Dinner will never be the same). Today we cycled 20 km to a cheetah sanctuary and had whats known as an encounter (a stroke and chat about cheetah). Was really good, if not a little bit daunting. Then enjoyed some local delicacys in a lovely picnic area b4 the cycle back to ou...

Day 1 in the Big brother House. Interesting taxi ride with a man that resembled 'Chris Kamara'. Very funny. Arrive at hostel. Nearly lose mobile. Bag breaks. What a start! Check-in, have a much needed shower, go for a wonder round town, bite to eat,etc. Play silly amount of yahtzee and s***head whilst emptying various bottles of Jack and Captain Morgans at the hostel bar. Pool is only 2 Rand (approx 15p!). Bottle of smirnoff is approx 5 pounds! Dangerous. Stumble...
