... We also had to stop to take photos of widow birds with full plumage as they flew across the roads into the fields. We stopped on the way for lunch at a really nice and pleasant Spur. How we will miss the great food and service that you get in Africa.<br><br>Just before arriving in Jo'burg we drove past some coal mines, echoes of Stoke on Trent as it used to be in our youth. Well Neil's and mine anyway ...

This day was spent on the long and boring drive from Kruger park to Johanessburg about 5hrs on straight farmland. We arrived to our hotel completely exhausted. We ordered in pizza, a bottle of wine and sat reviewing our maps and route for tomorrow's start in Botswana! <br>

... people and making plans for the following day.<br>Saturday morning we dragged ourselves out of bed and down to the kitchen for some breakfast. The place was filled with people wearing Lions' jerseys except for one guy with a South African jersey who kept telling everyone how the Lions were going to get trashed, unfortunately this was going to be a common occurence throughout the day as most of the Springbok supporters are ridiculously arrogant and full of themselves ...

... http://www.meetup.com Johannesburg Girls New in Town. Man bzw. Frau muss sich nur regisitrieren, zu dem vereinbarten Treffpunkt fahren - et voilà. Am nächsten Tag fahre ich fast ans südliche Ende von Johannesburg, um mich in einem Cafè mit acht anderen Mädelz zu treffen. Meine Güte - ein Hühnerstall ist ja nichts dagegen :-))) Zudem war die Lokation auch noch recht laut. Eine bunt gemischte Truppe - weil international. Die hiesigen Südafrikanerinnen stellen ...

... and looked alright, I can't give more enthusiasm than that I'm afraid! We ended up staying a whole week in Johannesberg- I'm ashamed to admit that after months in Uganda and Malawi there was comfort in being in a developed city. One day was spent just hanging out in a mall buying toiletries and going to the cinema! We made friends with the people at the hostel and some other travellers and had some good nights out. One memorable (or not so memorable) night was when Crazy ...

... Maar hierdoor hebben we wel in een korte periode heel veel kunnen zien. Namibie had voor mij zelf de meeste hoogtepunten. Dit land is zo divers in z'n natuur dat je iedere dag wel weer een ander landschap voor je kiezen krijgt: groene heuvels, grote rotsformaties, rode en gele woestijnen of bijvoorbeeld dichtbegroeide parken met veel dieren. Ik ben er nog steeds niet aan gewend dat je hier in Afrika gewoon een olifant op een landweg kan tegenkomen. Na Kaapstad verlaten te ...

... been really afraid then and would have given over our stuff most likely. It's unfortunate this had to happen though, because i didn't want to be distrusting and suspicous of everyone i come across, because of course not everyone is out to get me. Meegan has been travelling here for 3 months and is going home today, but the entire time she never had anything bad happen to her, and never really felt unsafe. Anyway, so that happend but it's over and I'm fine and i have all ...

... can tell you means that she is open to a bumming. In-flight entertainment consisted of "Snakes on a plane", "Borat cultural learnings for make benefit glorious nation Kazastan", an "Inconvenient Truth" and Peep Show. I did manage to get about 2 hours sleep too. On Arrival in South Africa I was Immediately set upon by some Scammer called Peter, basically wanted cash for showing me where the domestic terminal was (like I can't read a massive sign pointing you to ...

... one of the patients could have caught my virus/infection which could be possibly fatal for them. It was a shame but maybe when we return we try again. Well as debs family is huge we decided not to buy presents for the adults but instead we would take all debs nephews and neices (12 of them) out for the day to a place of their choice. So far we have taken Bradley skateboarding for 3hrs, Tristan swimming at the park and Byron and Tayla to the movies to ...

... with instructions on the outside and say help yourselves, but don't come back to us if you get sick!". More soberly he explains that even with a non-ideal, three-monthly review of ART outpatients, OPD attendance would increase to an impossible 120 000 patients per year. In an urban setting, Muller believes that with ART he could reduce pressure on bed occupancy at Edendale Hospital by 20% within a year. He's aware of the practical constraints of ART. "When we get them it will be ...
