16/11/2012-Friday. (Please see previous entry for Hogsback entry first)
Good news! Gareths bowels are much improved today! Bad news! He didn't sleep well, due to inconsiderate dorm roomies and the late arrival in PE (as the locals call it). Got picked up about 9.30am for township tour, which was better than we expected! We had a tour of PE first, it is the most appealing big town we have visited, with lots of old, historic buildings. Learnt a lot about the history, etc. Then went to the townships, which is a huge area and where we didn't see any other white people for a couple of hours. Learnt lots of interesting stuff and had a mooch about and look in a craft store. (Oh yeah, forgot to mention the hippy woman we met in Hogsback who has been travelling 17 years and who we both brought jewellery from; I have a nice purple amesytht (spelling?) necklace which is meant to be good for the mind from Gareth, and got Gareth a nice amber bracelet, which is meant to be good for creativity.) I got a couple more bracelets from this place. Then we went to a school- first time either of us have been in a prinicipals office for a while. Had a look round and drink with the prinicipal. Then headed back to the hostel. Nice, hot sunny day again! Walked down by the beach to the shop (first time we have seen a shop with xmas decorations!) to get some tea then come back and sat by the pool and arranged the last of the hostels and buses :(
Off to Storms River tomorrow; another early start! Hope all is well!? Could you check my card balance please mum mandy and e-mail me please?! Thank you!!! Now off to make tea. Speak soon xxxxxxxx

Auntie Vic Vic Good morning to you both. Ian said he had heard that Port Elizabeth is lovely or PE to you. Im intrigued by the lady who has been travelling for 17 years. Does she stay in hostels then? Does she sell her jewellery to fund it? Wheres she from and how old is she?. Im glad the shops have the christmas decs in and hoping you have room in your rucksacks for some. All sounds brilliant although i must confess that i have seen a certain update on facebook so can see whats to come and im rather afraid that you are gonna get some grief you naughty pair!!!!! Love ya and glad your bowels are on the mend gareth xxxxxx
