Even though i'm actually an african I had never travel outside of South Africa in Africa. Shocking I know ! especially because its so beautiful. At work on tuesday i was invited to go to Mozambique for 4 nights and i jumped at the chance. The boarder was so relaxed they did not even check that the passboards the were stamping actually belonged to the people in the car (one person just takes the stack in). We also didn't have the log book of the car and they didn't care. At the boarder the tar roads end and its all beach sand so you have to have a 4x4. We were owing a boat and only got stuck once and managed to get out with not to much difficulty, but then discovered a dead puffadder under ... read more

After Phi Phi we decided to make a much needed quiet stop at Ko Railay. So many people had said we must go a see this island and I'm glad we took the advice as it was really pretty. The bay is surrounded by huge cliffs which are super popular amoungst rock climbers, and sort of hug the narror valley's inbetween where the resorts are.

It was lots of fun and everyone was either really high on something, or hyperactive due to serious amounts of redbull. We met so many people, and swa the fire skipping rope for the first time, but the next day we suffered again. A bucket hangover is the worst ever as you cannot sleep due to the redbull and have to just suffer every moment. But by night time we ... read more

This was my last week living in cape town (well at least for a couple of years). I was so busy with habitat though that I bearly had time to think about untill the last day when i cried alot. I had to lead house 5 which was sponsored by Coronation a fund management company, it was the hardest most challenging, dirty and most rewarding thing I have ever done. The house was generally always on target and finished in time, but leading a new group of leaders everyday was very challenging, Ii had to use everything i have ever learnt and i think it went ok, well atleast Vuyela was happy which was the most important thing. I cried and cried when i had to dedicate the house and leave the township. any way after ... read more
