We explored Fraser Island (the largest sand island in the southern Hemisphere) by a 4x4 vehicle! Awesome 3 days! There were 10 others in our group, mix of English, German, Italian, Korean and Chinese ... we were lucky to have a good group, as other groups didn't get on! We were camping on the island.. so no toilets, washing facilities or showers for 3 days!

Highlights of the cruise were the sunsets and sunrise... such stunning colours and nothing but ocean to interrupt it! Snorkeling was also good fun! Lots of pretty coral and fishes to see! We were unfortunate enough to have outbursts of rain on the second day though. Mother nature was kind to us when we arrived at the famous W...

The cableway was...

I had jet lag when i first got here, as i had to adjust to the 6 hour time difference and the fact tha...

We arrived in Durban at 10.30pm and didn’t have the arrival we quite hoped for as we witnessed a car being hijacked at some traffic lights we were stopped at which was a bit scary! We only had a day in Durban so we didn’t have much time to do anything, in a way i was kind of glad as i had been used to spending the last 2 months in the middle of nowhere and wasn’t used to big cities. Emma and I visited Victoria Street Market where there was an I...
