With the extraordinary fusion of so many people the country becomes something of an experience from start to finish.We have traveled twice to India in the past months the first was a long weekend trip to New Delhi and Agra http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/blog-418128.html A 16 hour trip in the bus to Nazca turned into 19 and a bit but thatrsquos South American time for you it was fun....Nazca at 8am in the morning it was nice to get off the bus with 15 people outside the fence yelling at you to come sleep at their hostelhotel. By 10am we were in a 4 seater plane I was more worried about it getting off the ground at all than crashing to do a 45min fly over t http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-166321.html We had arrived at La Paz dirty smelly bustling city on an overnight bus from Potosi and while Tanya slept on the couch at the first hostel we came to which was full Josh and I walked the streets at 5am trying to find one with a staff member awake enough to understand we were after a room for a few nights. 2 hours later we gave up and also fell asleep waiting for some more intelligent staff to http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/blog-157711.html Our footstepsCasey and Tanya Arriving in BA finding our hostel had lost our booking for the first night was a crap start no great drama though as we were able to find accommodation next door for the night.

It consists of two hostels down by the mouth of a river one really really small shop and about 20 local houses scattered around the area. We stayed at the hostel called Bomvu main bar and rooms set up on the top of the hill overlooking the ocean http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/blog-138892.html What a blast Arrived into Joberg late at night after our 15 hour flight grabbed a car the next morning suffering from some serious jet lag and headed northwest to Pilanesberg National Park. Ended up staying at a BB coz the park was booked out and the owner took us to a Jazz festival standing there between 5000 odd Africans we were quite a draw card.
