Hiya, Glad you enjoyed South Africa. We loved it there. Shame about Table Mountain though. The views from up there are amazing. Got a contact in Perth if you need one. She is staying with her sister who is a geologist. About the same age as you two! She is loving it there so far but plans to travel around Oz. Let me know if you want her contact details. Enjoy!! Keep safe x
