... on the bus joined in with the shouting (not too good for the hangovers) and then the police came over and told the bus driver to drive us all to the police station.<br><br>We were outside for about 2 hours until someone had the presence of mind to check the woman's shopping bags. Quelle surprise - the purse was in there and we left. The woman was not with us though... I suspect she may be spending a little time in ...

Here I am again with some pictures for you. I will be going to Umlazi on Wednesday to stay and will meet my Zulu friends. I cant wait to see my friend Precious who I met when she was 13 and now she is 18. Having a very good time, although the weather is very weird, really hot for days, then it goes cold.<br>

... Monday. Baz Bus is the sort-of-hippie-bus that shuttles backpackers back and forth along the coast between Cape Town and Jo&#8217;Burg, but it also goes some places &#8216;normal&#8217; buses don&#8217;t go from here, like Swaziland. They pick up and drop off right at the door of selected hostels, also. That&#8217;ll put me here for four more days, so I&#8217;ll get caught up with Internet if nothing else, as long as my crippled computer holds up ...

... was quite basic with no phone or internet and we have both been eaten alive by all sorts of creepy crawlies. Durban is great, lots of cool food like Bunny chow, Im sure Vik will update you on that. Gotta go before my internet time runs out but will try to finish this tomorrow.

... in the Valley of the 1000 hills, which was stunning! We then got back and changed for dinner which was at uSharka, a marine waterpark right on the beach, and we got to meet lots of Iona and Stuart's relatives. Today was spent up in the Midlands with Iona and Francis van Kooten (Andre's mum) looking at all the craft shops along ...

... the one class that I'm taking on-line for most of Sat. afternoon at the office. Just as I was finishing around 8 p.m., I started to feel lousy. I finished up, and Liz took me home. I told her that I didn't feel right at all. I wasn't home 20 min. when it hit me like a tone of bricks. I spent most of Sat. night/early Sun. morning in the bathroom. It was far worse than the first gastrointestinal bug several weeks ago ...

... several observations, which may or may not have any significance as they're wasn't anyone whom I could really talk to about my observations beyond Melanie and John. Please keep this in mind when reflecting on my observations yourselves. All of the white vendors as well as a couple non-white vendors where in the shaded area of the market and brought their own shade covers with them. They were selling mostly clothes, jewelry, soaps ...

Sorry for the delay in updating the pod but not every hostel had state of the art technology unfortunately!! We left Cape Town on the 1st October and got the Baz Bus to Mossel Bay - wasn't much to do in this small town so only stayed 1 night! Next stop was Plettenberg Bay where Ruth &amp; I went sea kayaking with the hope of seeing dolphins but ...

... the canopy. Although Michelle had offered to pick us up in the truck, we realized that we were only a short distance from the hostel and quickly walked back. No one seemed to have noticed that we were gone and there was certainly no excitement about our cruise. We were then off to a Zulu village or kraal. A kraal would belong to a man who had several wives and children. The men's huts and the ...
