Sunshine Worshippers

I eventually managed to drag the ultra-sulky-hung-over Chris out of bed at 12:30pm and due to the lack of groceries and fish we caught the previous day we had 1/2 sausage sandwichs for breakfast and headed for the beach. When we found the perfect spot, we sat and spied on the local fishermen...

Fishing

This morning we woke up with the best intentions of catching crayfish for dinner in the evening. However, although we had a great day, after around 7 hours of trying, loosing a lot of bait, line, hooks and patience we finally gave up. So we decided to drown our sorrows and go out for the night!...

A long Drive

Today we woke up at 5:30am for our long drive down to Margate. After a long 7 hour journey, not including breaks we finally arrived to gorgeous sunshine! To treat ourselves we went out for lovely Italian and had an early night.

We finally have our car!

We have just collected our little kia picanto from Johannesburg airport so are pretty happy! Not entirely sure where we will end up over the next month, but that makes it even more exciting! We can't exactly say that it's the nicest car we've even driven, as it doesn't have air-conditioning or...

Planning

Today we had a pretty stressful day as it seemed all we have done is try to get things sorted but without success. The internet connection kept disappearing and the car hire company that we chose wasn't replying to emails as there was a problem with payment. So was quite a shitty day as we...

Moving on... almost

Today we went to Sandton City for the morning to a huge shopping mall, with a million over-priced items which were crying out to us to buy! However, we managed to resist and instead went on the look out for a hire car. This proved to be more difficult than we originally thought as most...

Another Lazy Sunday

As you can see... We didn't exactly achieve anything today... We played a few games of Pool... Chris cooked an amazing pork belly dinner... We drank loads of wine... Very chilled... Very relaxed...

Lion Park

Today we woke and visited the Lion park. It was a fantastic opportunity to see African Lions, Zebras, giraffes, Meerkats, Cheetahs and some other fantastic animals where you may not get the opportunity to ever see in the wild. A little later, Chris, being the amazing cook he is, made a...

Chillaxing

Had a relaxing morning where we did nothing except- nothing... fantastic. However, even though we are from the U.K, we never expected S.A to be this cold, where we had layer-upon-layer of clothing. Although Chris was feeling a little under-the-weather we had a lovely evening again with Sanette...

Arriving in Johannesburg!

Finally we are at our first destination! The flight was pretty busy and although the air-stewards were stingy with supplying us with water, we had a comfortable flight. Sanette's father was waiting for us which was perfect timing as it stopped pestering-porters from hasseling us too much! He...
