Southern Sun Cullinan Cape Town

... out the compound. See you later Cape Town. <br><br>Tomorrow we are of to Springbok then to Namibia the next day. <br><br>South western Africa has been very special. unbelievable riding, great people, not to expensive and no pistols. I cant wait to see the rest of Africa. Bring It On.<br><br>Cheers Miles

... and draw in my notebook with the pen. Anytime I walked through the waiting room for the rest of the afternoon (during which they were still waiting, I might add), they would run over to me and grab my hands, pulling for me to play with them again. I would have to say, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry--not right now, sisi/bhuti&#8221; and go about my other tasks. Their mothers all smiled at me approvingly, as if to say, &#8220;Thank you for spending ...

... cleared at times so it wasn't all terrible. I had a great time. I then ended up coming back, taking a hot shower, and a nap and then meeting up with the Canadian gal and a guy from Luxemborg and we all went out to eat a great Indian restraunt for dinner. It was great food and then we all went out to see a live blues band play at one of the bars. That was fun too. The next day, I went out, got a quick bite to eat and then started the journey back to Swaziland.....

... in Mauritius. I got a Blue Catamaran Snorkeling adventure ticket today and am excited about swimming in the clean ocean water tomorrow around some beautiful coral reefs. In our sea meeting today we talked about our sea chant, flag, and events that we will be participating in during the Sea Olympics two days from now. Our sea color is Blue so we made up the following chant for our group: "Hey you! The ocean isn't red, green, yellow, or white! I could keep ...

... and see how much things have improved in 3 years - the area had been improved, there were many more cars around and the people seemed to be a lot better dressed. We did the beer drinking with them and even the drinking pot had improved from an old paint can to a clean steel bucket. After the drinking den we went on to some of the older housing and saw some of the appalling places people are still living. We met one lady who's ...

... and bars, and we chose a Spanish tapas restaurant and had just finished our meal, when there was yet another powercut, again we ended the evening in candlelight. It proved to be a bigger problem for us this as to get into our B&amp;B there was an electric gate, which of course didn't open from the outside without electricity. Luckily for us one of the neighbours was inside and they were able to open the gates to let us in. Dom

... Obviously we didn't because they were somewhere else at this time of the year. We dined in Franschoek at a restaurant called Reuben's. Heard it was among the ten best restaurants in South Africa. The food really was excellent. Cape Town - Park Inn Hotel V&amp;A Waterfront - what can I say... a place to be. Astonishingly huge 500 item wine menu in restaurant Belthazar. Table Mountain Robben Island Karoo National Park

... up at the last second. I do admit I was a little scared I was going to catch a tree or the side of the building but of course we didn't. After being back on land my adrenaline was racing and I wanted to go right back up. This is by far the best adventurous thing I have ever done and every one else should try and do it! Once I get home I will show all of you the video, it is awesome!!!

... cool area to go to with some game, nice scenery, and bushman rock paintings and stuff like that. The bus ride took 6+ hrs and took us through the wine lands, Ceres; an area that grows amazing fruit, and then through the mountains. S. Africa's geography and climate made me feel right as home as it is very, very similar to California. Kagga Kamma is this large reserve at the base of the Cedarburg mountain range; it all used to be ...

... although the thought gave me butterflies every time it crossed my mind. I said that I would see how it looked before I decided for sure. <br><br>When we arrived at the jump site I said to the ticket-seller, "I might jump today." He said, "No refunds! Once you pay you jump or lose your money!" Luckily I hadn't seen the drop by that point or no doubt I would've chickened out! So I finally said, "OK, I'm going to jump today!" I handed over my 300 Rand and there was no going back! <br ...
