Így van idő kicsit okosodni arról, hogy a johannesburgi nemzetközi reptér névadója, Oliver Tambo – Mandela egyik társaként – az apartheid-ellenes mozgalom vezéralakja volt. Nelson bátya börtönévei alatt Tambo képviselte az ...

... of the sixties through to the nineties were held. Nelson Mandela was there for 18 years. Our guide was a former inmate who had a great insight as to how the prison ran. The political prisoner’s main defiance of prison rules was to hold secret political meetings inside the prison and smuggle in newspapers to ensure they kept up to speed on the real world outside. The prison would censor any newspaper articles besides sports and censor letters sent from ...

... was walls. Walls everywhere; followed by electric fences, razor wire and armed security patrolling some houses - no joke. Seems like everyone lives in their own little prison. After settling at Diamond Diggers Hostel, I met up with this Swedish guy and walked together to the local mall. I needed to get a mobile phone so my family could keep in contact with me. (FYI its: +27 0792490196) A good 5 km walk, although I was paranoid the entire time. He ensured me ...

... because it is by the grace of God that I am alive and that I had means to travel to Botswana. So, to God be the glory. Ok...Habitat for Humanity is a international organization that promotes affordable living. One night 6 months ago I applied to go on this trip knowing that I would be traveling with a group of people I didn't know. Many of us e-mailed back and forth prior to the trip. Although my destination was Botswana, I had to fly into ...

... sit in the garen here for the rest of my life drinking in warm aroma's of red earth and fragpani . Okay enough flowery language - am off to the pub with hastily made friends!!! Love travelling- tommorrow Aparthied museum. I look forward to boring you all with the details.

... some graffiti and litter, but not that much. A few buildings had broken windows. We didn't notice panhandlers. A"Actually, it isn't as bad as I expected," I told myself. However, my fellow Taiwanese travelers were definitely shocked to see the dirt and mess in the downtown area. My experience living near tough neighborhoods in Baltimore had probably altered my perception, so I thought Jo'Burg looked "okay." Maybe I would have had a different feeling (really see how ...

... like a fortress for game viewing. True, you are very safe and have an excellent view, but you are so outside the real feel of the bush that the viewing loses that special African feeling. The open vehicle used on Kruger's own game drives provides a much better wilderness feeling. We had signed up for the night drive with a Kruger ranger. This turned out to be a great adventure. The long open vehicle had spotlights on the side. At first I ...

... water. After a few more hours of kiting there we were stoked. It was a beautiful day. Then on Saturday the wind was extremely strong (probably about 40 mph) so we bagged on the kiting and drove down to Cape Point instead. Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope are the South-Westernmost points on the African continent. The scenery was incredible. Very rugged. We stopped on the way and checked out a beach where all the penguins hang out and ...

... through: stones on the ground were reddish and relatively flat: trees were present but spaced fairly far apart on the hills behind: vegetation was dry, yellow and yet green in places. Some trees in the background looked like ponderosa pines. They'd done a burn off of grasses a short time ago and the new grass was just growing up. While this gave it a sort of burned out and blackened look to it all, it also made it easier to see animals and I was ...
