Well i have been a busy bee since i last made an entry on this.
I am now in durban after hiring a car with katie and driving from johannesburg to kruger and spending 3 days driving around the park hunting out the big 5, so nice to have air con as well. Whilst there we managed to see 4 of the big 5, we was just missing the Leopard which i really wanted to see. However it was more than made up for by almost crashing the car into 3 or 4 elephants.haha. Then one morning (this being 5 in the morning, early bird catches the worm and all that!!) we stopped to look at a giraffe with a mold on! straight up Giraffes get morning glory. Then all of a sudden heard a grunting noise from over Kate's shoulder, only to discover it was some crazy Rhino storming alongside the road. Both mine and kate's response being "its a fucking rhino!! Luckily he changed his direction before the car. We also went on a mountain bike ride through Kruger which was pretty cool, ended up sat on rocks near river with about 20 hippos, all about 10 metres away!! We also stopped at some real scenic spots on the way to kruger, which where really high up in the mountains overlooking rivers etc. One being called gods window, however with all the driving i was busting for a waz, so how can you not take a waz out of gods window!!!
After Kruger i think i,m bored of seeing animals now and am feeling the need to party, so will keep you posted. We also stopped in Swaziland for 3 nights and got completly stoned, went and saw some water falls and tribal people. Gladly i,m back in the land of the living now. Its a bit mad actually, as i arrived in Durban i was actually getting scared of the busyness of a city!!!???
Anyways people hope everythings well with you all, take it easy.
