Road trip 2

Wow 3 weeks has really flown by since my last entry in Namibia! Getting onto the internet to do this blog regularly has been a real challenge, it actually gets quite pricey to be on for an hour or so, and once I have cleared through my e-mails I don't have much time to write a detailed entry - anyway, excuses over, here's a whizz through the last 3 weeks! I flew back from my brilliant time in Namibia and met up with Rosie, Fraiser, Katie and James, who had come down from PE after the coaching...

Snow in Africa and other adventures

If weŽd clicked our ruby slippers and wished to be somewhere šlike home,š South Africa would be pretty close. After our overland expedition in East Africa, our two week stay in South Africa was just what we needed to unwind, recuperate and rejuvenate. One of the main reasons South Africa made it onto our itinerary was because we had some friends from DC who were living and working in the country. We were most fortunate that they happened to be in Pretoria, the capital city, so we decided to v...

Southern Drakensburg, Sani Pass, Lesotho Like - The scenery in Drakensburg Dislike - the cold nights, I'm a big sissy about cold weather, and maybe the cost of the Sani Pass tours, comparative to what you actually do. Though I am glad I went up. Do Differently - see central and northern Drakensburg Stayed - Sani Pass Lodge, it was nice, a great location right on the way to the sani pass. They posted great information about the immediate hikes around the area. Then the chocolate cake! Yum. Tra...

Durban, Sani Pass and then back to Jo'burg

... this huge boat which had been converted into one &#8211; inside we got a table down on the lower deck so technically we were under sea level, and we sat right up against a massive tank which had sharks and fish swimming around. It was sooooo awesome, and Paul would keep tapping me on the shoulder every time the same google-eyed fish came around... ohhh and I tried snails for the first time ever! Thanks Jono for sharing with me.<br> <br><br> On the way back home was a ...

The shorelineis continually pounded by a great force of huge waves that roll in from every direction, breaking and crashing into eachother and the rocks sending huge plumes of spray high into the air. It&#8217;s all very atmospheric, and we stayed right on the water ...

More Adventures with Red Rover

... Polygamy is declining in Swaziland as it is too expensive - each time a man marries he must pay lobola (like a dowry - usually cattle) to the family of his fiance. Consequently, this has lead to the increase in the number of 'informal' affairs! We were offered 11 cows for Tara. Swaziland also has the highest rate of HIV infection in the world, next to Botswana. In both countries, free condoms are everywhere, at the border posts, in ...

... lodge, with Jack wailing the whole way. On returning to the lodge, we treated Jack with anti-histamines, soapy water and ice, then hurried down to Reception for help with our bushveld emergency, hoping to buy or borrow some pain-relieving cortisone cream. Not only was there no first aid kit, here in a mountain lodge at the edge of a wilderness hiking area, but the folks at Reception seemed astonished at the very thought. Fortunately, Yvette's drug regimen ...

Sani Pass and the Drakensburg Mountains

... with a South African family (my planned transportation had been canceled) up the Sani Pass. While there was nothing extremely special about Lesotho (very similar to Swazi and Zulu Culture), the journey there was quite special. First of all, the Sani Pass can only be taken if you are driving a 4 wheel drive vehicle, as it is a 33km winding, rocky, dirt path that at times ...

Mountains galore in Lesotho

... get a great view of the Drakensburg mountain range which is stunning. Once you get on top of the mountain we went to Africa's highest pub to get some lunch and then went for a short visit to see a local village before heading down the mountain and back to Pietermaritzburg. Final thoughts on Lesotho Overall Lesotho is a very beautiful country with a stunning mountain range and if you things like this then it is a good place to visit.
