BY SARAH Hello Everyone, We are now back in Jo'Burg- ready to fly to Bangkok tomorrow! I can't believe we have been away for a month already! In the last week we travelled from rainy Durban to Swaziland which was AMAZING! We stayed at Sondzela Backpackers which was in Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary. It was in the middle of nowhere but the hostel had ree pool and ping pong so we managed to keep ourselves amused. We also met a group of fellow travellers who were a ...

BY BEN Hello... We arrived from Heathrow safely, absolutely no problems. No stress at all. I would love that to be the case but this is me we are talking here and if Sarah expected an easy trip she now knows that will not be the case.
