Now if I had have known it was going to involve a chocolate factory I may have gone alas I hate wine and went to a movie with Shae instead. No regrets really Clinton bought two big chunks of chocolate back and a bottle of wine which he insisted I was going to like http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Oudtshoorn/blog-200485.html Namibia was mostly an adrenalin filled trip. Firstly though we spent a few nights at Etosha National Park. Still nothing can compare to the Masai Mara however we did get to go on a night game drive here which was a first. The highlight of this drive was seeing lions. The tour guide got out a bright flash light and asks If anyone asks if I used white light what will you say We all chirped in http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Oudtshoorn/blog-199848.html My last entry I left off at the booze cruise. We need to go back to our quiz night in Malawi for the start of this event. Firstly we picked a name out of the hat to buy clothes for. I coincidentally got Clinton Clinton picked Nil and Sara the American picked me. On our way to Zambia we stopped off at a market where we were told that the people there know and expect us to buy hideous clothing so http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Stellenbosch/blog-197674.html It is time for another update...In Zanzibar we stayed in two separate places. The first place was Stonetown where a major slave trade used to be held and the other place was Northbeach. In Stonetown all the females had to cover up to down below their knees and their shoulders Yet they still sold bikinis there We didn't do that much there we walked around the spice fish meat and vegie marke http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Botswana/North-West/Okavango-Delta/blog-192726.html Since our last entry we haven't really had a chance to get on the net. Currently we are on Zanzibar for 4 nights and finally in one place longer than a night or two so I have some timeAfter the gorillas we headed back to Nairobi which was 3 days of full on driving in the truck we're talking generally 10 hours a day It was a little exhausting as we'd get up at 6am sometimes earlier and be on t http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/Zanzibar/Nungwi/blog-186113.html Yesterday mornng we were in Uganda in a nice cosy private cottage room with proper beds and a bathroom luxury After Four hours of rough pot hole filled road in a very cramped minivan with 11 other people we whacked our heads probably half a dozen times and a one hour border crossing we found ourselves in Rwanda and in a dorm room with 12 other people on bunks We woke this morning af http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Rwanda/Ville-de-Kigali/Kigali/blog-179677.html It's been a while since I last wrote to you all so thought I might catch you all up on our adventures. Mauritius was beautiful as the post cardspictures normally show however there is a whole other side to it too the slums to which we pretty much stayed around though our accommodation was alright. We were there for 4 days and due to jet lag we pretty much did nothing for the first 3. On o http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Uganda/Central-Region/Kampala/blog-178455.html Well After madly packing up the house moving unpacking and cleaning our rental place Clinton and I were ready at 11pm the night before we were to head off Very very last minute job as per usual. We didn't get any shopping done so we're without quite a few important items As I have just found out we didn't bring our vaccination certificates with us which I've been freaking out over howev http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Mauritius/Grand-Bay/blog-174528.html Hi AllJust setup this Login.Planning on adding photos along the way and Update our traveling accrodingly.Currently the unit is a mess as it needs all the contents packed up as we are not continuing our lease.Our items will be scattered across a few locations to save on storage costs.so Long for now.Clinton and Flip http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Victoria/Melbourne/Caulfield/blog-170153.html
