The Beach
Yesterday we spent the day at the beach. It was fantastic. The water was clear and warm. The resort has "Beach dudes" to take care of you on the beach. They will get your drinks and set up chairs for you. George, one of the dudes was very friendly. ...

Snorkel, Snorkel, Snorkel. We got up a little later this morning. Had breakfast and went straight to the beach. I think we've found something we really like. This time I bought a underwater camera from the resort. We took lots of pictures, I hope they ...
Glaring hippos

Soufriere

Kayak
Today we decided to jump on the kayaks and go for a spin. We went to the next bay over. It was quite beautiful but trying to beach the kayaks on the rocks is a difficult thing. We are both beginners. So after a try or to we decided to move on. We went to ...
Lovely St Lucia
... Praise!) This dastardly plan, however came unstuck big-time a few days ago. We're currently moored up in the South of St. Lucia between the Pitons (a couple of pointy hills) in a town called Soufriere. When Kim, Ben and I were heading across town back ...

St Lucia
Went camping at St Lucia for the weekend. It is an awesome holiday town where hippo are sometimes seen walking the main street (there really is only 1 street). We didn't see any hippos but I had a rack of ribs for dinner so that was just as good. Did some ...

Day One
Being my first actual Travelogue, it will be tough to get used to but I think I will be able to get my messages across. Traveling has always been a passion of mine and with each trip to some random place on the map I get better and better at it. I ...

DIVE!
Sodwana Bay is South Africa's favourite dive spot, famed for "turtles, whales sharks, great white sharks and manta rays". ALMOST all of the above was fine with me! In reality, sharks are not that often seen and indeed, hardly ever attack divers. ...
St Lucia
