Cape Town Ritz Hotel Knysna

... Ze waren wel nog niet volgroeid. om erop te geraken moeten ze knielen en dan heb je nog een bank van 5 treden nodig om erop te geraken. Rap gaat zo'n dier niet en dat vel is kleihard. Maar het was ongelooflijk om mee te maken. Na de wandeling hebben we ze gevoerd. Zo'n emmerke is niets. Om Victor een kans te geven om eraan tekomen, ben ik hem gaan kidnappen bij zijn dames, die in koor bye bye kirden. Hij was eerlijk gezegd ...

... depth chat to Davids Dad. Not needing much for dinner after our massive lunch, we fell into bed after our long journey. We're now looking forward to a couple of days cruising around Cape Town and planning our trip along Eastern Cape. Em's particularly looking forward to some more running around the bay here and Al is super pumped to be getting his new board in a couple of days. We'll keep you updated on our journey along the coast. Hope everyone is well. Lots of Love, Al & Em

... like this again! The view was spectacular up there. We took tons of pictures. The drive there was a bit crazy. I think we managed to get ripped off when we parked at the foot of the summit. Some dude dressed in a suspicious parking uni greeted us and asked us for 20 Rand for parking. We found out later from Junior that these guys are hustlers. Hahahah. Fun times. Anyway - tired now. Got to do some laundry. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

... ferry crossing back. Now this is not to say it was all bad. We managed to split from the group as a pair on the way back and enjoyed the views and bantered all the way home. The drive back was uneventful, before we went to the hotel bistro, which is where I sit as I write this now. We are about to dine but are pausing over a Castle Lager to read and write the blog before eating what will be either beef or fish I would imagine. Looking forwards to it.

... have, proud of their first president Ny****e, who took them out of colonial rule, and into socialism, bankrupting the country, but keeping the peace and uniting the people und** one flag, and one language. Sign of AIDS we see ev**ywh**e, billboards for AIDS awareness, statistics by word of mouth "1 in 5 is HIV positive", or maybe 1 in 4? The rumors and facts blur, the misinformation is rife; too many people think that condoms cause HIV; not many use them. But ...

... I tried to take the cable car up Table Mountain, but it was so windy that it was closed. So our taxi driver took us to this nice view point and we got some nice pictures. Then we went to this street called Long Street that had a bunch of cool vintage stores and a marketplace. We pretty much just shopped all day. That night we went to Mama Africa, this awesome African restaurant. They served a lot of different meats like Ostrich, Warthog (a Pumbaa!), and Alligator ...

... members of the Azanian People's Liberation Army, an African group using violence to fight the apartheid government. The St James Church massacre was a massacre perpetrated on St James Church, Cape Town during the Sunday evening service on 25 July 1993, a group of APLA cadres attacked the St James Church in Kenilworth. Using grenades and AK-47s, they killed 11 members of the congregation and wounded ...

... Irish girls. Off next to Monkey Land (sanctuary to rehabilitate monkeys into natural environment). Running late for Irish girls to catch Baz Bus but whizzed round and enjoyed. Back to hostel and then off to Moby Dick's for dinner. Peter had Crayfish (25 GBP) - most expensive dinner yet - just ok. Attracted attention for bill using Steve's international sign. Peter noted that urinals were filled with ice which made urinating fun. Day 20 - Sunday 14 September ...
