The Grace In Rosebank Johannesburg

... am a complete control freak when it comes to this travel polava and unjustly doubt the ability of anybody to organise something better than me. It would appear I was wrong as it was fantastic and we all had an amazing time. We were met at the airport by Dannys mate Trigger from Hawkshead, who recognised me from nights out apparently and we also share some of the same friends. Trigger, a 6ft odd version of postman pat, and nicknamed after the gormless ...

... we should be in Perth!

Outlook lodge is very nice, roomy and cosy. what more do you need! The bath is the size of a swimming pool!

Whilst I think of it, why is there always a big mouth on flight? This couly had the mouth of a bloody fog horn, and never shut up, the whole 50 mins. Not even the turbulent landing phased the *****! I think Durban will miss her.....not. Just our luck she will be sitting at the next table at the restaurant tonight. If she is ...

... is to get the Hell out, so that’s what I concentrate on, trying to book onward transport to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, from where I’ll cross over to Livingstone, Zambia, for the Crossroads Music Festival, a regional competition and festival which I’ve followed for a couple years. There’s only one problem- it doesn’t exist, direct transportation, that is, so after much wandering around while hemming ...

... was met with a firm "No! There is nothing to do or see and it is too dangerous. You will probably have your camera and wallet robbed and be assaulted". Lucky this man wasn't working for Tourism South Africa, although perhaps he could get a job somewhere like Kabul or Baghdad, which I believe are even bigger shitholes than Jozie. Anyway, the highlight of the day turned out to be a walk ...

... placed on the next flight only an hour later, but after a bit of a delay we flew off towards Zambia. Dom Turned out that Nationwide, the airline company we were using had gone bankrupt a couple of days before we flew, hence the cancellation. We were lucky to be replaced to another flight for free, we later heard that some people had ...

... chips, popcorn and rented two dvds for them. When I got back from the Woolworth's pick up, we distributed the food and thentried to encourage the youngest children to finish their supper as quickly as possible. It was quite funny, because four year old Musa is quite the talker and he struggled with eating quickly. What i learned just sitting there with them, was that they all responded really well to positive feedback, if I let them know that they should eat up to make them strong ...

... us. While he was busy doing that Lotta and I explored and found elephant tracks in the dried mud, albeit old ones. We returned to the simple hut at the entrance to the reserve and were treated to coffee and biscuits. The ranger explained that the owner was trying to develop the reserve so that more tourists would come. Camping further inside the reserve was also an option. I wished I could have stayed there forever. We ...

... the Afrikaans owner and an apparent ex-wife or girlfriend. Had it been limited to a few choice words and then the end, we would have had no issue. This is, however, not the case. They then proceeded to hit each other and throw objects at each other. One of these objects came very close to breaking a window, which would have shattered glass over Rachel and I. The worse part of this whole thing was that the woman had a 2 year old girl in her ...
