Had a really nice meal at Cockle Bay Wharf last night before trying to get some sleep prior to starting tour at 6.45am Definitely travelling in a bit more comfort. The bus is a shuttle bus and there are 12 of us (all girls again except for Eric, Synthia's husband). Only 3 of which are doing the whole 21 day tour. We have been to Canberra and visited Parliament House and are now in the Australian Alps at a resort called Thredbo. Really strange to see snowy mo...

Well I made it to Oz!!! A bit tired and very weird travelling 7 hours in the future. Lost a day on the way. Staying in a very busy but cool hostel in the middle of the city, called Base. Being picked up at 6.45am tomorrow for the start of my 21 day Sydney to Darwin trip. Really looking forward to it. I will be staying in hostels most of the time in Australia so should be able to get internet access fairly regularly for up-dates. Love to all xx

Balloon flight over Massai Mara, Quad biking on dunes in Namibia, elephants by the roadside everywhere in East Africa (will n...

Now in Cape Town. All good things must come to an end and there have been quite a few tears over the last couple of days as 1 by 1 we go our separate ways. But the last week has yet again been amazing. We have climbed Dune 45 in Sossusvlei and watched the sun rise... quite literally the hardest fitness test I've every done. There was a race from the campsite of over 30 vehicles to get to the dune. We overtook everyone in our overlander and were the first ve...

Wow. Yesterday went quadbiking with Bena, Siri and Marita. Amazing. Quadbiking over the huge sand dunes of the Namibian desert. The guide was well impressed with us as we were all up for it and coped with the drops and roller coasters well so we were able to maintain a good pace for the two hours we were there. Today we have been sandboarding on the dunes. Just like snowboarding but obviously on sand. Also did belly boarding down the dune. I managed to ...
