Regent Hotel Suites And Conference Centre East London

... to the people who have been our family for the last 2 months.

I slept most of the 10-hour bus ride, which was good. Sometimes Britni and I would watch Smallville on the laptops but mostly we slept. Taylor kept trying to take pictures of everyone sleeping so in revenge we got some great ones when he finally went to sleep. We will have a lot of driving to do the next four days as we travel down the Garden Route to Cape Town. When we got to our hotel it ...

... know where you are in a hire car

... Jeg laegger ud for indkoeb med mit dankort og Lasse betaler tilbage med oel. Det goer at man bliver ret fuld. Vi faldt i snak med en gruppe unge midt i 20'erne og det eneste vi rigtig kan huske derfra er at jeg maatte give mit telefon nummer til en af pigerne og hun tastede sit ind paa min telefon, hvorimod Lasse sad det meste af aftenen og snakkede med en fyr om sin forhud. Han syntes at et land hvor pigerne kan lide mig ...

... live in our house are volunteers at the farm where the horses are and help rehabilitate horses. I got a horse called Girlie and before she was rescued she was starved and it took 8 days of rehab before she could even stand up so of course she eats as much as she can now. So it was kind of tricky to control her seeing as I don't exactly have a whole heap of experience with horses. I was a bit nervous because I am ...

... After Mike had a chat with the computer teacher they worked out the volunteers from Ng would teach on Thursdays at byletts. So on Thursdays now we take English class but use computers to teach them. At Ng all we really did was install a security program on the laptops and test to make sure they work. On Saturday some of us (the girls) took a bus ride into East London to go to a shopping centre to do some well due shopping. We spent a couple of hours there ...

... themselves and all of a sudden they raced up to us and got us to join in the dancing. They tried to teach me how to dance but I'm not exactly that co-ordinated, so compared to them i looked terrible! It was really fun and the girls were so happy. They were from 2 and a half years old to 15 years old and even the 2 and a half year old was a better dancer than me :P After what seemed like hours of dancing Mama Tofu came and told us stories about ...

... on top - only to discover that one of the sultanas was in fact a cockroach. I'm sure there are other stories, but for now I've successfully blanked them from my memory. We made our excuses - the huge red lump in my armpit being the main one, and after long deliberations from them and demanding petrol money, they said they'd drive us to the local hostel. On the way, Mark stopped to pick up a bottle of wine and some fresh bread. I have nothing further to say on the matter.

... their wonderful friends. They are very lucky to live in an oceanside town, and when it was time to leave (Friday Jan 16), I told the ocean our love affair had to end, but that I would return soon!!!! Here are a few pictures of East London, as well as of my aunt and uncle. Cheers, Leanne

What a week! Monday we woke to more heavy rain so had a lecture on animal behavior from one of the reserve owners then went ring barking in the afternoon still in the rain which was weired because I could have easily been in glengarriff in my waterproofs in the middle of a wood. We use these big machetes called pangas , in true Amy stylee I managed to skin on of my thumbs in the first 10 minutes! no surprises there then! We also got a ...

... on your bed every morning and all at backpacker prices! Needless to say, we ended up spending an extra night here and Plett was a nice place to be. Our hostel was just up a small(ish) hill from the town center and there were really cool views of the long sandy bay and shimmering lagoon behind. The town had a really nice sleepy seaside town feel to it which was quite relaxing. The only problem was that as we were a the up the hill, it took twice as long to walk back from the ...
