Travel, travel and more travel

Alright, I’m officially sick of flying. 11 hours, very little sleep, and I think I’ve picked up a cold from all that re-circulated air. Miserable. First-class is really the only way to go when you’re flying on these long flights. Our arrival at the airport was our first real taste of the...

Day 13... The wineries of the Cape... and disaster in Durban...

Woke up at 8:00 as I had to be waiting downstairs and ready between 8:30 and 8:45. Was waiting down there and no-one came. I thought this would be a disaster and when Naadia informed me that he had gone to the wrong hotel and he was on his way, I had even less confidence. When the guide, Aubrey,...

Day 12... A quiet one...

Nothing really happened today... Spent the day walking around the city and exploring... Walked from the backpackers place through the City to the Waterfront and had a bit of a look around. The V&A Waterfront is much like waterfront locations in many places around the world. Lots of shops,...

Day 11... Ayoba!

The day came, the World Cup started, and South Africa was ready... Heaving, in fact... Woke up at about 10 and went for a walk around the Fan Fest. These are viewing locations that have been set up in each of the match cities that show every single game live and on an enormous screen. It...

Day 10... Cape Town first day...

Woke up at about 7 to get this 10:00 flight... The driver came and we took about half of the expected time to get to the airport, so I was stuck waiting there for about 2 hours... I found a Wi-Fi hotspot, and did a little web browsing and waited for my flight... Boarded, and the flight was...

Day 9... Morning safari, Johannesburg for dinner...

In the morning we head out on the safari, I felt pretty good, and the boys thought they'd be smart and offer me a beer... It amazes me how people underestimate me, and expect me to get hangovers... Will the world never learn? Adam's mate, Matt, Dave, whatever his name was, was nowhere to be...

Day 8... Last full day at Kruger...

The morning began with us laughing at Adam at about 6:00 am for not being able to live up to a challenge... He responded by not showing us many animals. We spent the morning looking for and finding millions of lion tracks, but no lions... A quiet lunch, and a quick nap followed... Evening...
