23/2/11 Marylou came down with what I had but braved through it to endure an awesome day of safari at Kwantu Game Reserve. We made it to Kwantu for half 12 following a quick fuel stop in Grahamastown. Our first fun of the day involved interacting with African elephants. The Zimbabwean guide provided us with plenty of information before a few more of the guys dragged the four, young, female elephants from their afternoon walk. There was lots of room for the big ...

16/2/2011 - 22/2/2011 More splendid food today, legs, fillet steaks, potato salad, gemsquash with cheese and sweetcorn. Watched Robin Hood and Flipped on DVD.

14/2/2011 Treated to an awesome Wimpy's lunch, they have become a lot more successful and appealling here in SA. The South Africans love cream soda which is quite nice (but no Irn-bru to me), and they often have it with ice cream as a cream soda float. Simon and Jack loved them. The cinema here was crazy cheap at 28 rand (2.50 pound) and half price on a Tuesday! In the afternoon, we took a stroll down Kenton's fine beaches across the lagoons, rocks, over the s...

13/2/2011 Woken up by cleaners in yet another bed in a dorm. I have a habit of being an ass and if there are more than one or two free beds in the dorm, I'll pile my bags on one, maybe clothes above that, and then sleep in another (if it's not busy). Equally if they don't wash my sheets and I've got sand in there, and I get back drunk at night, I sometimes like a clean bed! Hahaha. So this morning, the cleaners had an extra bed to attend to. Started trying to h...
