Monday morning we got up and went downstairs to investigate what the free breakfast was. It was frosties and small bread buns with tea and juice, very nice. We enquired about getting some laundry done as we hadnt done any for ages. The best option was to take it to a laundrette not too far from the hostel so armed with a huge bag of clothes each and directions from the hostel, determined not to get lost we set off on our way. Amazingly we found the laundrette wit...

At 5am my alarm went and I woke Sarah up. We got dressed and packed our final things .... or so we thought! The taxi came at 6am to take us to the airport. The journey took just over half an hour. We checked in and went through security and arrived at the shops.

To get there we had to walk about 20mins to the minibus taxi rank and from there try to find one going t...

We arrived in Chintsa at 11am our shuttle was much better than the other one. We were staying at Buccaneers backpackers and had chosen to stay in a safari tent again.

Infact it was really hot and we spent the first two hours sitting sunbathing in our deckchairs. It was so hot which made a change from being cold as the last few days had bee...

In East London we stayed at the Sugar Shack in a little wooden ht with a sea view. We went for a walk and came to the spar shop. Determined to cook something nice we looked around. We decided to have beef stirfry with noodles and make enough for two days. Indeed it was very nice and people kept telling us how good it looked. That evening we were feeling quite tired so we got in our sleeping bags and watched Twilight on Sarah`s iphone. We were just getting to slee...
