Hi All, Well we've reached the end of our south african adventure and are packed up in Pretoria waiting to go to Johannesburg (sp?) airport to fly to Perth overnight tonight.

Durban Thurs & Fri We last updated the blog in Durban, which was fairly uneventful, apart from maybe when we took our lives into our o...

We did go for a nice little walk towards a mountainous waterfall, but ha...
