Talked more to the Danish guy at Doogalls and turns out he has worked on game reserves, national parks and at the exact same place we went shark diving in SA called Gansbaai. He was telling us about his job characterising the animals, taking photos of fins etc, was very interesting. Turns out aswell that apparently the biggest great whites ever caught were in Cyprus measuring 6 metres in length and weighing 2 and a half tonnes! They also tagged them in SA and fou...

11-12-2010 I packed my stuff and went back to Gecko to wake Jack up. I screamed in his ear like a Lieutenant only to discover that there were other people in the dorm I woke up as well as him! Oops....Shared a taxi from Cape Mac to Blantyre with the Norwegians, saving us an unbareable bus journey and costing only a shade more. Was a 4/5 hour journey but reasonably comfortable and the only complaint I had other than a sore ass was the fact that the driver had a...

To save 500 kwacha, I decided to move down the road and sleep alone in a different lodge called Mufasa. So took my stuff early doors and disappeared. At 10am, Jack, I and the Norwegians boarded a boat out to an island for 3000 each (13 quid). The 3 crew members took us to a nearby snorkel spot where we got to see a crazy amount of fish, again all tropical, different colours, shapes and sizes. Jack figured that to hold your hand out, the fish would come and inves...

Weather was crap again and overcast so we chilled out most of the day. Jack read some book someone gave him and I just watched some Champions League highlights and swatted up about our next locations from the Lonely Planet guide. Tried to budget on our lunch which worked well again and then thankfully the sun came out a bit. Jack and I played volleyball on the beach, only to be joined by about 6 locals. My team victored 75-61 (if that's even a score). It did hel...

8/12/2010 Had another free breakfast of scrambled egg, tomato relish and toast before leaving for Cape Maclear. Another pick-up ride and a bus to Monkey Bay for less than 3 quid, where we witnessed a drunk in one village try and board the bus but after being refused entry kicked off a fight, and as a result got botted in the face. Then came the worst pick-up ride ever to Cape Maclear. With a huge cabinet strapped to the back, about 30 people on board, loads of ...
