Radisson Hotel Port Elizabeth

We survived and had a great time at the game reserve searching out the 'Big 5'. Leopard proved elusive though we did have some great sightings of a cheetah and her 2 cubs which more than made up for it.
We also managed to catch a sighiting of the only 2 lions on the game reserve on both our first and last day. The male is a massive fella (as you can see from the pic of ...

... snakkede med hende. Det resulterede i at jeg fik en sludder med ejeren som saa bad mig om at skrive det hele ned i en mail saa at hun kunne gaa videre med det. Til at starte med var der bare lidt Halloej pa Badehotellet over hendes inkompetence, men naar man raaber ad gaester og kalder dem diverse ting og sager, saa er sgu for meget. Da Lasse havde naevnt over for en anden gaest at vi ikke kunne sove om natten paa grund af et larmende sydafrikansk cykelhold vi maatte dele dorm med, hev ...

... 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!!

We changed driver at some point and the new one was called Patrick ...

... all afternoon to finish this section of the blog. We catch the bus this arvo and arrive in Jo’burg in the morning where we will stay overnight with Waynes drop zone friend Beverley and then hopefully do our washing and book a bed in Mumbai for arrival on Tuesday night. PHEWWWWW!!!!!!!

... their culture is like for a few days. so this will probabably be the last time you hear from us until we get to our safari on dec 22. we had luxury and everything at our fingertips for the first 2 weeks, now we are basically going to be living off the land and not showering for 4 days...but our trip ends with an amazing safari so thankfully, i will be showered when i get on the plane to come home. hope everyone is doing well back home and enjoying the cold weather, tee hee.

... Chris had made friends with the female cub and was happily stroking her head and belly. We had a full half hour with the cubs, then it was out to look at the week old cubs. These couldn't be handled, but there was a lot of cooing from the girls. Finally we got to see the third age group, the one month old cubs, being fed and there was more cooing and plots to steal one away! Just to reassure some of you, we have been to see the new Indianna Jones ...

I do enjoy writing it and im well chuffed that you enjoy reading it :-) Thanks for the great comments guys, they are all class, you wouldnt believe the smile that comes to my face hearing all the Glesga slang in your comments. After J'bay i spent ...

... towards Bathurst (not Bat-burst!) Sure enough, as we passed Summerhill Farm, the pineapple made an appearance. At 16.7m high, it beats the one in Queensland Australia by 70cm - and no, it's not real! The farm gives you the chance to go around the pineapple processing plant, and taste some of the juice. But not today, we had an urgent engagement with some cakes. I was still feeling rough, so the sight of five extra-large ...

... involves cramming as many people and potatoes / vegetables etc (luckily no animals) into a 10 seater knackered old mini van. Luckily it was only 10 mins down the road to our hostel, a nice quiet place as we were just planning on staying overnight and leaving early the next morning. Went for a wander into town and it seemed so much more African ...

... guide, chez qui nous prenons un petit déjeuner plutôt consistant (oeufs, bacon et boervoors, avec une sorte de purée difficilement définissable), et pas mauvais du tout. L'après-midi, on traîne sur le front de mer, constatant que somme toute Port Elizabeth n'est pas une ville très intéressante. On passe un moment dans le Boardwalk, la fierté de la ville, un complexe de loisirs au bord de la mer avec plein de restaus et un casino. Ambiance presque Disneyland, pas vraiment d'âme.
