... various kinds of "bok". <br>Ate excpetionally well (whats new) and the menu included Kudu which we tried for the first time and found it to be really tasty and tender (no we didn't hunt it if you're wondering).....<br>Have just arrived in the tropics of Singapore, going on to Phuket for 2 weeks of R&amp;R. We look forward to updating you again soon<br>N&amp;D<br>XOX<br><br>

... et. Vi var forbi et shoppingcenter der var 1.3 kilometer langt. Saa man kan altsaa godt tabe sig og shoppe samtidigt, enhver kvindes droem!<br>Jeg har lige brugt en halv time paa at skrive en mail til ejeren af det sidste hostel vi besoegte. Ve havde lidt boevl med en af de ansatte. Hun var virkelig forfaerdelig. Da de gamle ringede herned var det det primaere jeg ville snakke om fordi at det var saa frustrerende. Hun gik saa lidt over stregen da hun kaldte os for racister fordi at vi ...

... and lied down. I had to sit back up because the bus was filling up but it was to let 2 girls sit at the back so I did not mind too much. I apologised for being rough and stinking of booze and fell back asleep. I did not make many observations on the way as I was too tired unfortunately. <br><br> We stopped at the services and I needed the toilet for a chance. I took a little longer than I ...

... half way across the room from my top bunk and not returning again. Chinsta was really chilled and fully of the hippy type travellers that look like they've been travelling for 45 years. Most of the time here was spent on the beach or by the pool, however, on our second day we took our first surfing lesson and spent the whole day trying to master it. The surfing was awesome and although we got some questionable burn marks and some aching muscles, by the end of the ...

... to give my parents a treat and headed to Monkeyland. Here, we were allowed to walk around with a guide for one hour amongst the primates listening to their hoops and hollers and watching them strategize about how to steal our sunglasses and wallets. Apparently it's legal for them to steal from the tourists. What? There's no monkey police?? Go figure. We met a gibbon named Britney Spears and heard her friend Michael Jackson singing in the ...

... I was quite red-faced after that). On my flight from Sydney, the SA guy I was sitting with (Allen) decided we had to become friends (fair call, we would be together for the next 14 hours).. he was lovely, and when he found out I was travelling pretty much by myself became concerned and gave me his details to call in case I ran into any trouble. Funnily enough, he is a trainer too, and was reading one of my favourite psych books. His daughter lives in the Toaster in ...

... Philip was our guide for the next few hours and we saw lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, kudus, jackals, ostriches, warthugs, turtles, red hartebeast and many many more species. Top! Buccaneers greeted us after a LONG drive, where we also took the wrong turn and wasted 2 hours. But nothing that a few shots could fix. We got through the list, and ended up quite tipsy. Next day we drove towards Mount Frere, through ...

... the exit. As we were approximately 25 minutes late, we were pleasantly greeted by a 10 ft steel electrified gate that is not just closed, but it is chained and padlocked shut, to top that off the guards station has its lights out and there is no one in sight. It was almost dark by this time and it was 40 KM to the next gate with a pride of hungry lions between us at that gate. Options included: - Having Heidi climb the electrified fence (my vote) - Scott attempt to jump the fence ...

For a town with such an evocative name, actually a bit of a disappointment. PE seems like a holiday beach town in the mould of Blackpool. Not really our cup of tea. Quickly moving on, we flew to back to Johannesburg for our flight to Bali, via Singapore. Spent the night in a well dodgy guesthouse in a rough part of Jo'burg - worried all night about ...

... the sun, just sorry to have to leave again and so quickly. Bye Knysna, love you!!! Off home now, or so we thought. Alas Sven's friends' 4x4 decided to be unreliable once again by allowing the clutch to die. YES INDEED. OH YAY!!! In the middle of nowhere, somewhere between Riviersonderend and Caledon. It was almost night and it was quite unsettling. OH somebody please help! So we phoned sos and all the people you are supposed to phone when this happens ...
