Hi Hope you are all ok!?
We arrived in Port Elizabeth late on Tuesday evening, and went to our hostel. The guy that picked us up was a bit strange and intense, however had got us booked onto safari for the next day, so we were pleased!
Got up early to be picked up by Peter, our guide for the day. There were 5 others with us, a group of Dutch, the younger girl stank! proper B.O! And I (Ali) was sat in the back next to her so had my head stuck out the window the whole journey there! Oh and 39oC really doesn't help! Anyway, we went to Addo Elephant Park first, and surprisingly enough saw loads of Elephants, they were awesome, even 5 legged ones! Even though they are huge they were almost graceful. We got so close to them that we could have touched them. We also got to see Buffalo, which were cool, their necks were so huge! And as Andy has pointed out they've got big balls! We also got to see Zebra, Antelope, Monkeys,and loads more, you'll have to look at the pictures!
*We are unable to upload the pictures at the moment because Port Elizabeth is crap*
Anyway, we had a lovely lunch, then went onto Schotia (pronounced skosha!!) where we saw Giraffe, Springbok, Imparla, Warthogs, Hippo, and more on our afternoon drive. We then stopped for tea/coffe, and then went on our sunset drive, to hunt for lions! Our guide was great and managed to find the lions before the others, so we got the best views and pictures! They were awesome! We also got to see a rhino, well the remains! After we went back to the lodge for a lovely 3 course meal, and free bar! wohay! Finally we went on a mini night drive as we left! And then back home! It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny!
We are currently stuck in Port Elizabeth as it is Easter and everything closes down, like it's Christmas! Only Worse! And we seem to be struggling to get accomadation for the next week, unless we stick to the big towns, which wasn't the plan! Plus Port Elizabeth (Big Town) is full of miserable gits! Hey Ho!
God Knows where we will next be reporting from! We will try our best to upload the photos asap, once we've found an internet cafe, where it doesn't take 17 hours to type an e-mail!
Lots of love us xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
