... lose the garden...<br><br>The drive back was amusing. Ev**yone drinks and drives h**e -really bad as its more dang**ous at night h**e and thats when things can happen. We drove back in a group so safe in that respect, and drove through all the red lights. One of the junctions had a dancing clown - it freaked me out a bit. He had a white mask on and was right infront of the car. Harmless on this occasion as they just want tips for 'dancing' on the street - but at 11 at night ...

... everyone lives in recycled materials, tin, paper, and cardboard, where everyone has no running water on tap, where everyone sturggles to survive, where there are no jobs and no way to make an honest income. The difference is that now these ' foreigners' are under attack. Having already fled persecution in many cases from countries like Zimbabwe, mothers, sisters, fathers, grandfathers are being killed infront of ...

... hand to shift from park to reverse to drive. Many times I smacked my right hand against the door going for the gear shift lever. Jim drove the car to supper as it had gotten dark. But after supper, since the traffic on the streets was light, I drove it back to the lodge with Jim reminding me to stay to the left as I turned at intersections. Fortunately there were only four turns to get Jim and me back to the lodge. Here's a picture of the car. The GP at the end of the license ...

... I'm going to vomit' way, but an 'internally sore' kind of way. The flight time passed rather quickly and we landed in Joburg. Customs took an extraordinarily long time because of the hundreds of foreigners that somehow simultaneously accumulated. Thank God for staggered flights in America. This sort of thing wouldn't be unheard of in the States. We patiently waited, picked up our bags, and eventually met up with Mr. and Mrs. Wallis who took us back to Pretoria. En ...

... us! Man, can those things run! They can sustain 55km for some time! Watching a line of elephants storm the vehicle is quite the experience. After that experience, most of us had had enough of elephants. I felt exhilirated by the experience and the sheer power of nature, but I readily admit that I am likely a bit crazy! The last night there we had a traditional meal outside at a fire pit. Kate had to serve myself, her dad and Sam on her knees... I could get used ...

... Doctor!" , I shouted as he turned to leave the room 'Yes!' "Could I trouble you for my book then please?" I pointed to my bag on the other side of the room. "It's just that I'm reading Anthony Keidis and I've only got one more chapter to go..." Fifteen minutes later and my hand was no longer my own. It was lying on a metal table surrounded by surgical instruments, looking rather dejected and as if it had given up hope. The doctor was back and trying ...

... matter. THe four women who cook the food were delighted with the delivery, if not overwhelmed as there was far from enough cupboard space to put it all. These cooks provide food for all the teens in the school, which I am guessing was close to 400. The food is obviously minimal without having a fridge and much money to buy anything. The teens all helped bring everything in and were full of smiles. the school officials gave us all hugs and were incredibly gracious. After we ...

... the tour guide informed us that Nelson was home today - he could tell us this with confidence because his bedroom window was open - lol! He's really come up in the world geographically has Nelson - we also visited his previous house in Soweto (abbreviation for South West Town) and it was an airless 4 room box - although I'm sure he far preferred it the windowless cell he occupied for many years. Desmond Tutu's place was just around the corner and ...

... Temperaturen von ca. 16 Grad. Gott sei Dank hatte der Tauchshop einen beheizten Pool und Whirlpool und auch eine Sauna integriert, denn meine Zehen konnte ich nicht mehr spueren. Am besten gefiel mir der Ort Knysna. Ich kam in einem Hostel unter, das wie ein luxurioeses Einfamilienhaus aussah. Da ich die Einzige war, bewohnte ich das grossraeumige Gartenhaus mit Wohnkueche, zwei Zimmern, Bad und Fernseher ganz alleine. Ich unternahm eine entspannende Bahnfahrt durch idyllisches ...

... in the southern hemisphere it was the depths of winter which meant that the sun and air were nice and warm but the water would reverse puberty! We headed out into the main town that night. Pretoria is the student capital of the country and as such it is quite cosmopolitan. We went for a few beer and of course 8,000 miles from Ireland not only did we meet an Irish person, cos thats nothing interesting but we met a guy from the nure and to be more exact about 5 houses down ...
