Hi all, Just a very quick hi as writing is fairly torturous on this computer due to sticky keys - Phil and I can't even spell our surnams correctly (see?)... To summarize, we spent 2 nights in Durban, 2 nights in the central Drakensberg area and the last 4 nights here. We spent Tues and Weds in the Kruger National Park - seeing the Big 5 plus more! We spent a night there Tuesday and really enjoyed ourselves. Will write a more detailed account asap and post pic...

Dear All, Behold, the latest update as we sit in the Hippo Hide Backpacker lodge in Durban. So we had got up to Friday on the last blog and we were in an idlyic little place called Swellendam.

Dear All, Just a quick note to say that we arrived safe and well in Cape Town. We've been 'awake' since 7:30am on Friday morning as sleep was impossible on the plane so we're now heading off for an early night before a boat trip to Robben Island tomorrow morning. Sun is shining and its very warm in the sun so all going to plan so far. Love Phil and Liz x

Dear All, So 4 days left to work, 18 days until we leave for Cape Town and the start of our little adventure. Hopefully this blog will keep those who are interested up to date with our movements, or simply just annoy those who view it wishing they were there! Sorry about that! Hope to hear from people along the way on our message board etc Phil and Liz
