So...the Wilderness


In Coffee Bay, sleeping in a tent, utterly bored of my wardrobe (a.k.a rucksack), consistently dirty nails and backache from not being able to stand up in the tent...the realities and joys of travelling!? But it's all worth it 'cos I'm not working 9 - 5, Monday to Friday and living for the weekend; which always proves to be a phat anticlimax anyway. Days don't matter round here, neither do dates unless you have a plane to catch!

Haven't got round the a safari, but will do eventually. Having said that, I've now eaten some fairly tasty and exotic creatures....crocodile (white meat, like chicken but very chewy!), Springbok (pork/lamb cross) and Ostrich which was quite quite lovely despite how funny looking they are when alive! Declined to ride an Ostrich however (didn't look all that sturdy for my bottie!) and felt like a wuss that day! Adventure update continues another day....

Lost in the Wilderness of Africa


A quick post - corporate life is but a distant memory - in fact; what is "corporate"?? Have travelled for the last 6 weeks from Cape Town to Coffee Bay with lots of adventures along the way. More details to follow...
