Evil Owls and Walking Backwards in the Night

Just a quick entry today.. the bus leaves in 15 minutes. So.. there is a lot of superstition here in Africa. The thatch huts have sharp glass sticking out o their top knots.. that is to keep the evil owl from lading there and bringing bad luck. If you get home after midnight then you must enter the home backwards to keep the ghosts from entering. If someone is living 'differently'.... whatever that means.. in the community and things start to go wrong then they will likely be accused of witch...

Stop Over

... because when I came out, the bus was driving off!!!! I could not believe it - I had to run to catch up and some people saw me so the driver eventually stopped. That was way too intense for the way I was feeling!!! People had just assumed, I had left as they use services station as pick up and drop off points!!<br><br>We changed driver at some point and the new one was called Patrick ...

Hummmmm, not gone/going far.

... and rocks on it, that almost every break i end up carrying some sort of child to the office, getting a strange look, the child getting a smack, and the cycle starts over. The teachers do not appreciate that we're there to help in some way, i believe that they think we're only there to partonise and humiliate them. I have barely gone into a classroom to teach, expect if one of the teachers can't be bothered, and therefore all we do is play football on the ...

... taxi driver didn't find me, however, until 11:30, at which time he was just about to give up looking for me. The problem was that he was looking for me inside the airport while I was waiting outside. Once we found each other, we headed off for the Backpacker's Base Camp on Western Street in downtown Port Elizabeth. As we were arriving, I asked the taxi driver about the safety of the area. He said that it was necessary to exercise quite a good deal of caution and ...

More elephants than you can poke a stick at

... to us, crossing JUST in front of our car, the families with the babies, the water buffalo looking at us, you will see. In the restaurant of Addo you see Dr T and me standing under an elephant head. Not only this shows how BIG those animals are but it is also a nice story. But, I do not have internet, nor the story at hand, so SA's, shut up. This is Happoon. He was the absolute master of Addo of 44 years. When he was young, he was shut in his ear ...

Addo

... turned round and started trying to pick up our scent and hear us. Fortunately the wind was in our favour and we remained largely un-detected. What a result, seeing one of the worlds rarest species 3 times in 4 days. We had done very well, and I feel Ryle was largely responsible for that. Great guide. We then had a coffee at the lodge, turned down a very polite offer of lunch for us, and left, now very heavy hearted, but looking forward to our trip to Mauritius non ...

The highest bungee jump

... an enclosed walkway which permitted a rather startling view of the valley floor far below. The organisation of jump area seemed very well set up and safe, but after a short safety brief the first names were called forward to jump, one at a time - I was fourth on the list. With the music pumping out at full volume, the atmosphere on the bridge was that of a slighty nerve racking house party, with everyone ...

Hole in the wall

Lever assez tôt et nous rejoignons Peter, notre guide Xhosa de la journée, pour une marche de 3 heures jusqu'au Hole in the Wall. Jamie et Rachel nous accompagnent (se quittent plus, ceux-là, ils partagent même une chambre). On longe la côte, en passant par des criques plus belles les unes que les autres. On voit au loin une baleine, et quelques dauphins ...
