12/2/2011 Enjoyed a good session of touch rugby in the sweltering heat of the day! Then bought a golf ball and smashed it down the beach for an hour or so! Missing sport for sure! Jeffreys Bay is where the surfers championships are held sponsored by Billabong as that's where the factory is, so I got myself in on some five-quid flip-flops. Spent day with English lads watching England beat Italy in the rugby at the Jolly Dolphin (bar we visited two years ago). I...

11/2/2011 Brits had a leaving party last night forgot to mention, all dressed in sparkles, glitter or foil, mostly just covering their crotches. The crazy Brazilian barman and them were doing the full monty at one point in the night and I had to buy the little crazy barman a drink for hitting the white off the pool table. Enough for the previous night, as mad as it was, we just chilled today on the beach, had some underwater photos developed, and ate some amazi...

10/2/2011 We visited Grahamstown to check out the English heritage with all the Victorian buildings and churches. Really was a nice town.

We drove to Jeffreys Bay (where Griff, Jack and I spent a week two years ago) and ...

The woodland walk entailed some slippy trekking over mud, rocks and running water, a variety of trees (sounds dull but these boys were interesting, some of them monstrously tall and wide), monkeys inhabiting the tops, a few birds (we didn't see the rare [parr...

8/2/2011 Chintsa looked awesome and Buccaneers backpackers was sweet. On the decking you were overlooking the small town east and west, the lagoon, ocean and the glorious bright blue skies and sandy beaches! Jack and Mike canoed across the lagoon (I chickened it as I didn't want to risk getting my camera wat) so we could go and buy some fillings to make sarnies. Ham and chutney was the verdict to save the rand, and after a quick dip in the pool, I joined the Ki...
