In the real Africa
... away. Apparently only 2% of people survive a hippo attack. They’re very big beasts, very fast… you can’t outrun one, they’ve got great big mouths and enormous teeth so the odds are a bit stacked. We’re learning that a walk in the countryside in Africa’s not quite the same as a stroll in Scotland where the largest prey animal is the midge… and we’re not even in lion country yet.
And from Jane, who having set ...
A week with a con artist...

Anyway, less of that... I did have a good time New Years Eve at least... we all went to a township in Guguleto, to a place called Mzoli's, which is a bar where you take your own meat for them to braaii. It was excellent!

We had a great time there (I was sooo happy to be served Ugali too, ...

It was a cold morning again so we were all wrapped in sleeping bags on the truck.On the way to the hostel, the driver ...
Lions and Rhinos and Hippos, Oh My!
... did take some video, though. I kept watching them telling myself how unbelievable it was that I was seeing this!
The day was profitable from more than a sightseeing standpoint as we alternated between the Govender’s car and Mark and Gillian’s car discussing more about Emmaus. Mark is hoping to serve on a committee that Marlon wants to set up to oversee the English work in South Africa and Jim explained to him what a committee ...
