Yesterday I ticked the number 1 slot off my bucket list...swimming with Great Whites! We headed out with a company called White Shark Africa to seal island where approx 3000 cape fur seals live and the waters surrounding it have the highest population of white sharks anywhere in the world. Within 5 minutes of the boat stopping a 3m shark was checking us out but then slowly disappeared into the murky water. As we were putting our wetsuits on another appeared whic...

We have spent the last 2 days in Knysna. It's a small town situated on the side of a natural lagoon which is apparently famous for its oysters. The weather has been awful and rained almost the entire time we were here. The plan yesterday was to do a boat cruise but that was quickly cancelled when we saw the lashing rain and gale force winds! Despite the rain we have had a few nice meals out and both tried our first oyster which I loved and Sarah hated! This ...

Hey everyone! Yesterday we had a great day, warmest so far so we decided to go kayaking and floating on lilos along storms river.

By 12 I was harnessed up and ready to jump off the bloukrans bridge, the 3rd highest bungee jump in the world and the highest bridge bungee jump in the world at 216m high.

The hostel we are ...

Two very windy days! We arrived in Port Elizabeth at about 11pm on Thursday night after a 4 hour trip from East London. We are camping at Lungile Backpackers which is only a short walk from the beach and more importantly a short walk from a very nice beachside bar. The weather hasn't been great, despite it being around 20 degrees, we have had ridiculously strong winds which have made it feel a lot colder! Yesterday we visited a penguin rehab centre where they ca...
