Done with work for now

... are earth, but there are rocks for them to climb on and they seem to enjoy spending a lot of time up there -- just like domestic cats who like to be up high and look down on you.) They had to dart the lions one by one and them wait for them to fall asleep, and then we went in to carry the sleeping one out while his buddies prowled around us. These lions were over a year old, so they're not the ones it's usually safe to go in with. But they were more confused ...

First few days here!!!! Tuesday 17th-Friday 20th

... that a couple of posh receptionists w**e adament they would tell me my flight was ready for boarding- when it came to checking the screen myself, my plane was boarding - no mention of it! hehe

The ride was something else. Seats w**e enormous with 4 seating positions from upright to flat as a bed. A few traditional looking business men w**e scatt**ed around the cabin- it was as peaceful as sitting in your own lounge. I was greeted immediately with a bottle of vintage ...

Heat, hippos and rhino!

... quite miss them . I've seen a no. of stunning birds including sunbirds, kingfishers and finches and waxbills and one in particular called a Lilac Breasted Roller and there is a bird called a Grey Lourie which is called the "go away" bird because that is what he appears to be saying as his warning call! Sunday and this morning at 6.30 we were at the dam again digging out the mud -we have to do as much of this ...

Table Mountain and Robben Island

... As we rose the views of Cape Town were spectacular, you could see practically the whole city as well as Robben Island. Beautiful! Unfortunately by the time we had got to the top, along with all the Japanese population, it had started to cloud over again! Did manage to get a good view of the Lions head and Signal Hill (other mountains) as well as the dock. At the top it was bloody freezing, hadn't crossed my mind that it may get even colder the higher we ...

South Africa Diary

... ass has seen in a long time, either side was bush with about 10 ft visibility before the trees and shrubs swallowed up the view. Tell tale signs of Elephant activity were common place - Big piles of dung in the road and torn down trees either side of the road. Elephants tend to rip up trees where they can either out of boredom, natural instinct (to create grassland - their natural living habitat - or simply to scratch there big fat elephant asses. It took about ...

Moz to South Africa - police and prostitutes

... had splashed out on the posh one with the toilet on board. I spent the majority of the 4 hour trip in the toilet wretching and sweating in combination. Most pleasant as you can imagine. At one point the 6 year old boy who had been sitting next to me took pity on me and offered me some of his breakfast. This brought on yet more vomiting, which lasted until we reached the border. The border to leave Mozambique was a study of absurd African pseudo bureaucracy. We waited 45 minutes ...

Beware of drivers with ugly cars

... and lean in the window to rob you, but because cutting corners, running red lights and almost killing pedestrians at crossings seems to be the norm. There's an air of suspicion amongst drivers, best summed up by our guide, Eric: "I don't trust him, his car is ugly." So I've survived my first day in Jo'burg unscathed. My stupidest mistake so far being locking my padlock keys in my locker. Fortunately my lock-picking skills are still in good nick. Working for the police paid off after all.
