So, continuing saga of the toilet meant I was moved again today to room 13. Definitely a good move this time, as double bed, air con and inside & outside shower. Must try that tomorrow as I have a bit of a lie in - again!! Anyway, today was lie in no.1, which was blissful after a full nights' solid sleep, then off to the Cheetah Rehabilition centre at 9am for the 10am tour. The Centre is amazing, they do great work with endangered animals and also any injure...

Another stupid o'clock start, 5am, not helped by a bunch of corporate americans splashing about in the pool outside my room until who knows what time in the morning, so again, not much sleep!! Was up & in the shower by 5am and ready for the truck by 5:30am, with the retired couple (who are so lovely) and we picked up a french father & daughter from another camp in the park - they had great big tree houses which looked pretty cool. Thankfully our truck di...

Stupid o'clock start, so up at 5am & bus pick up at 6am!! Bus was one of those minibus things that holds 12 people & I had a nice bunch - 2 kiwis who'd spent 5 years living in Oxford, a british girl from Cardiff, a brit living in Perth and an old retired couple (he was german she was american), so we had a pretty good atmosphere in van. Stopped at a motorway services for breakfast around 8ish, then carried up through the Drakensburg mountains. Passed a b...

Travel day to today. Set my alarm for 6:30am as I had an 8:50am pick up to the airport. Unfortunately, I set it on my blackberry, which I realised is still on UK time - so 2 hours behind. Fortunately, the phantom door slammer and their entire extended family struck at 4am this morning and carried on until about 4:20, so not much chance of me sleeping in!!! Was a bit sad to leave Cape Town, probably have not done it justice, but I saw what I wanted to see, so I'm...

Bit of a nothing day today. Inevitably I got Porter Family holiday weather - was bound to happen sometime or other. So, it's cold, it's raining enough to be annoying and it's windy. Actually, it's not too bad. Had a glass of wine with dinner last night, got back to the hotel & pretty much passed out - honestly, one glass of wine & I'm fast asleep!! Then the phantom door slammer struck at stupid o'clock this morning - you know the one you always get in ho...
