Hello All - today is my last day in Cape Town - which I am gutted about!!!!!! It really has been one of the major higlights of my trip so far! It has such a mix of people ranging from the ultra snobby rich people to cool travellers who live in hostels and drive clapped out beetles... I have decided if I ever move abroad this is where it will be.. although I will prob say the same about every other country I go to... anyway what i have done... i did a massively l...

He is about 2 inches long and is gross...

Hello AllJust a quick entry for Botswana - As I can't really remember all too much about it and am now in Namibia!!
