The Marine Hermanus

... the Cango Caves (thanks Rae! Good recommendation)<br><br>We saw stalactites and stalagmites in deep underground caverns. The most impressive ones were beautifully lit. They were well worth a visit.<br><br>All around Oudtshoorn are ostrich farms. It is funny to see field after of ostrich all pecking at the ground or all running after each other for no apparent reason. No option on the dinner menu at the guest house so this time we both tried the ostrich ...

... we got engaged for one last time and then it was time to return to the hostel as the shuttle to the Baz Bus leaves any time between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. Vague, I know! As it turns out it was nearly 7pm when we left Hermanus and sadly said goodbye to Tortius, Barry and Melissa who work in the hostel. As we drove away from Hermanus I was pretty sad. It was my favourite place in SA and of course it also has a special memory too.

Well went out on a boat for a bit of Whale Watching and it was choppy to say the least - I felt sea sick (I wasnt though!) The Whales are called the Southern Right Wales - apparently named as they are allegedly the right ones to hunt, we wernt long out of the harbout when we saw our fistt whale then along came a few more and within 10 minutes there were 15 Whales alongside the boat just lolling around and sticking their tails up in the air and blowing air out then one breached ...

DAY 5 - 28TH SEPTEMBER. Checked out, and then swigged a mouth full of coffee and fruit salad before jumping on a mini bus with 5 others and our driver from Camissa tours, Samantha (sorry Sam, I don't remember your African name). She took us to District Six and explained a little more than I knew about apartheid and her feelings about Mandela being released from Robben Island. She then took us to Langa Township on the edge of the motorway, that you see on your ...

... zavest o zamujeni priloznosti za se boljso uvrstitev. Kakorkoli ze, zabava zvecer je bila odlicna, naslednji dan v univerzitetnem mestecu Stellenbosch pa po dolgem spancu se boljsi. Umirjeno nedeljsko vzdusje naju je ves dan polnilo z energijo. Uzivala sva ob dobri hrani in odlicnem vinu. Pokrajina je namrec znana kot vinorodni okolis in kljub moji skepticnosti, ces da ga cez slovensko vino ni, sem bil ...

... if you are actually covered properly or you have another naked body next to you - inshallah). I sat it out patiently, waiting for the morning sun to thaw out my stiff body. An hour later nothing had changed except for my teeth, which had now started vibrating vigorously. I looked up through the opening in the roof and saw the moon - it was 3 a.m. I got out of 'bed' reluctantly and put on my pajamas, cocooned myself in and things were looking good. That is until ...

... of the ordinary thing that happened on the trip from Brazil was we had a day of no classes, and we had a barbeque upstairs on the 7th deck with really good food. The normal dinning halls are on the 5th and 6th decks, the 7th deck is the pool and bar deck. But they set it all up out there, and we ate on the 5th floor outside, and we sat on the floor because there were no tables. It was a good dinner. Day 1: Tuesday, Feb. 14th I slept out on deck the night before we got to Cape Town ...

... my own in the cage so i prob would've shat myself and got eatten. death by mistaken identity!! lol so although we didnt see the sharks underwater, we saw 5 differnet ones from the boat and most of them swam right up to the side. they dont normally show their fins like you see in the movies cuz they dont come that close to the surface, but we were really lucky as they did show us their fins and i have some really good pictures. i bought a ...

... but urggh. They've also got all the good look out spots covered, everywhere you look there is a baboon perched on the top branch of a tree, on top of the tourist telescopes, in the bushes as you go past. Once having run the gauntlet of baboons to successfully reach the top, if you look back the way you came, you are rewarded with a stunning view of the cape peninsular running back and on each side of land, a different ocean. To the left the Atlantic, to the right the Indian. (Im ...
