Wow, I can't believe it's already time for the Cape Town blog! We had heard from numerous people that Cape Town is the most beautiful city in the world and were really looking forward to seeing Table Mountain and the harbor area. Unfortunately, the first two and a half days were typically cold and rainy so we thought we were never going to see the beautiful sights! Of course, we figured out ways to keep ourselves busy anyway! On our first full day we wandered dow...

Hello again , Amy here. I'm a couple of days late on this but it is finally time to fill you in on our visits to the Johannesburg area and the Kruger National Park. We stayed with Dave and Marlane (THANK YOU!!!), Woody's parents, for the second time (they also hosted us the night before we flew out to Vic Falls). Again, we had a fantastic time. They spoiled us like we were their own children, packing lunches in a cooler for our drive to Kruger and sending mosqu...

So each hostel also acts as a travel agency and can organise stuff for you to do while y...

We posted some new ones last night. We have had a wonderful last week with a combination of relaxing and doing exciting activities. We stayed with our fr...

Back to me as Amy is still sleeping and I got up ages ago and I am bored, sorry!! Our flight from NZ to Sydney left at 6am so of course it was yet another very early morning for us. We said our very sad goodbyes and I really wanted to stay home, but we had to go. The flight wasnt interesting and we arrived in Sydney around 8am. I have to say SYdney is one of the worst airports I have ever been to, there was no organisation at all with where you have to go for cu...
