Hello All,

Haven't updated this for a week or so and we have been doing lots of exciting stuff...in Cape Town we climbed Table Mountain (in flip flops) which was awesome, we went on a Cape Peninsula Tour and saw penguins and whales, we also went great white shark diving, we got picked up at 4.30AM- yes, thats the AM!!! I also got sea sick but it was worth it for the sharks, they were mahoosive.

On Saturday we left Cape Town and made our way on the Baz Bus to Stellenbosch, where we went on a wine tour with some great South Africans, drank lots of wine and ate some nice cheese. :) We moved onto Knysna on Monday (a long Baz Bus ride) and we stayed in a really nice hostel called Island Vibe, which was more like a hotel. Went on a walk to the nearest beach, which ended up being about 6km away, which was fine, but it was pretty much on the side of the motorway (bens great map reading skills again). We managed to get a lift back with a guy called Clive, who thankfully, was very nice and was a marathon runner. RANDOM!

we are leaving Knysna today to go to Plettenberg Bay, which is pretty much a beachy, surfy kind of town. Have been told about a surf-wear shopping outlet where you can get mega cheap stuff so am very excited about that, even though I can't fit much more into my rucksack!

Ben's new back cards are (hopefully) on their way as we speak, so he will be treating me for a couple of weeks. he also very nearly lost our camera. (grrr).

Have met lots of lovely people so far, and we keep bumping into them along the coast. Nice and sunny at the moment...hope the weather isn't too bad at home (hahahahah).

We will hopefully get our pics loaded soon, the internet out here is apparently powered by hamsters.

Lots of love to everyone

Sarah and Ben xxxxxxxxx
