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 care for sick and injured birds. We had an hour and a half tour of the facility including the hospital, cleaning rooms and the pool where they keep the penguins. Unfortunately no touching but you could easily have if you had wanted to as they were so close.
Today we visited Bay World which is a combination of a snake park, museum and aquarium. Luckily for me and unluckily for Sarah we got there just in time for the snake interaction so Sarah got to touch her first python! Now she just has to work up the courage to hold one which I'm sure she will at some point in Asia.
Tomorrow we are heading to Stormsriver which is a few hours down the coast. Bungee jumping, kayaking, kloofing and maybe another dive await!

Mum/Lisa I googled "kloofing" - not sure I like the sound of that! Tell me when you've done it! Glad you are having such an amazing time. Much love, Mum/Lisa xxxx
