... roar) and our binoculars confirmed its not just by paw size either !
2 ostriches put on a nice little show for us, which included a "dance" with all feathers blooming and a stage performance to boot - they weren't shy with an audience.
Saw many other animals including zebra, rhino's, elephants (including a 2-3 week old baby), giraffe, buffalo, birds of prey, monkeys ...

Saa er der nyt igen. Vi har nu haft nogle gode dage sammen med Collin. Det har vaeret en noget af en oplevelse. Paa et besoeg til Sibaya Casino spist vi verdens bedste buffet, som altid endte det med at jeg braekkede mig. Mange vil sige at det er ulaekkert at spise saa meget at man braekker sig, men til det har jeg et forsvar - det var GRATIS!
Collin vidste os rundt i nogel af forstaederne uden for Durban. Der er virkelig nogle store huse derude. Hvis jeg havde en milliard kroner havde jeg ...

I woke up feeling like **** but in a rush as I had to get onto the Bazbus. I think I was still drunk, my stomach was not at its best so I made a quick decision to make myself sick as I could not take the risk to throw up on the bus.

I was so rough, even though I had a shower; I think I probably stank of booze but all I wanted to do was to get back to sleep so I went to back of the ...

Saturday 26th September. Port Elizabeth is a disappointment as the Laundromat couldn’t do our washing and closed at midday and the water front was sad looking and jaded. We had a nice hot breKky though at a café down the road and then returned to the backpackers where I have ...

... not as bad as people had told me they would be in Thailland, but then I guess we were not in a big city such as Bangkok. To be honest I was personally a little bit disappointed with Phuket as the atmosphere wasn’t what I expected, my sister on the other hand said she liked it and "appreciated the culture for what it was".

From Thailand we went on to Medan in Malaysia which was my personal favorite of the trip. The sea ...

... path to drop us off at our connecting bus to make sure we didn't get on the wrong one. Our 2nd bus was funnier. We got on not knowing exactly where we were getting off and just kept telling the diver that we were near the big post office and we'd know when we got there. After much confusion and asking us 20 times where we were going the bus finally left and we discovered that our stop was literally around the corner from where we got on!! But in true Fran ...

... if she had any last wishes and being offered her last meal, I paced up and down the bridge thinking about what I would tell her parents about her last few moments on this planet. The first jumper jumped and Charlotte's time was up. The two men picked her up under the arms and carried her out to the edge of the bridge. They place your toes over the edge so that once they let go, your centre of gravity makes you fall inevitably. At this point reporters quoted Charlotte ...

... is of course not a feasible budget everywhere, but if the journey is long and the demands for comfort aren't sky high, I reckon it's doable. So when my mate tells me he has just bought a car for half a million NOK, quickly I figure that out to be four years traveling and I am left with my jaw on the floor. Fair enough, you'll always get some money back when selling a car, but I have learned that buying a new car is a ...

... Osterich Farm, where Edel and Karen got pecked at and I rode one, well I say rode but I basically hung on for dear life and then slid off the back, it was hilarious! We then went to the Cango Caves where we had a tour around the various chambers...the formations were amazing. We stayed at the Drifter's Inn at Knysna, it had a pool, dining room with log fire, pool table and darts board. We stayed there for 3 nights. The first day in Knysna we wandered ...

... door... another FREEBIE! Went back to Siobhans, watched DVD and beddy byes. Also got to see the Toon Army lose 3-1 to Barcelona. 12th December Sarah and I went into PE today and just walked around. A really nice city. We did a bit of Christmas shopping and lounged about on the beachfront, drinking cappuchinos on the boardwalk! Loverly, or as they say here "Lekker", which means, lovely, excellent, brilliant. We came back to the house and then ...
