Hello again!! The blogsters return! Apologies for delay in blogs; we have been chilling in an eco retreat, soaking up the hippy lifestyle! 12/11/2012: Long day on the baz bus from Durban to East London, got picked up at 6.45am and didn't arrive in East London until about 7pm. Luckily for us the weather was pretty cloudy and a bit wet; we seem lucky in that the weather is bad on the days when we have nothing planned except sitting on buses!! And is glorious when...

Yo guys!! So, all is good in very hot and sunny Durban!! Yesterday we had our Zulu tribe tour. We left at 9am, there was only us and a young German guy and then the guide in his car. We went to valley of a 1000 hills which is the area where all the Zulu tribes are based; it was only about 45 minutes from our hostel. The trip was not what we expected, as they still advertise the zulu tribes as wearing the traditional outfits and walking around with spears, but re...

Hello strangers!!! Apologies for the long delay between blogs, but we got held up in the Drakensberg mountains, where they hardly have any electricity, let alone internet!! We had only planned on two nights and one whole day there, but when we arrived they were not doing the Tugela Falls hike on the day we were going to be there, so we had to do some quick rescheduling of Baz buses and hostels and ended up staying 4 nights and 3 whole days! The journey there w...

Hello guys!! Thanks for the lovely comments! Nice to hear all is well! Got back from the safari this afternoon! Wow! By far one of the most amazing experiences ever! Got picked up at 5am on Thursday from the hostel we stayed in for one night (a very weird place, it was just like someones house, but the room was like luxury compared to a normal hostel!). We picked up a few more people (a German couple, Swiss girl and four Spanish women), then set off for Kruge...

Helllo all from sunny Jo'burg (as the locals call it). Had a good flight, although couldn't get much sleep on the plane. Had a couple of alright meals on the plane and loads of good games and films and music, etc. Got picked up from the airport (eventually) by a guy from the hostel, had to phone them because we couldn't find him and then he appeared before saying he had to get money and disappearing for about 30 minutes. Haha, getting used to the laid back Africa...
