Tonight we went to the Township of our tour guide Heini. First we did a tour around the local area. The kids love looking at their own photos on our camera's. We gave one of the little kids a bulldogs football. Then we went to Heinis house and his mum made us dinner. We had chicken & fish and some local foods, pap and mopani worms. After dinner the kids all did traditional dances for us and Heini's little brother did a Michael Jackson impersonation - he was soo cute. The next day we went Sandboarding - sorry know photos but we have some video when we get back. It was really fun though, the fastest in our group got up to 78 kmph! ... read more

Township of Langa - Cape Town Our first day of the tour included a township tour. We went the township of Langa. There were hundreds of little shacks made from scrap metal & iron sheets and this is reallyhow people live. The little kids were so excited to see us. We got to see inside the hostel houses were 12 families live in a 4 bedroom place. This after noon we made our way to our first camp at Highlanders. The food we have been having is pretty good. Just the same as home... as well as Pap... their staple food which looks like potato mash but definitely doesnt taste like that. The next day we drove to Orange River which is the border of South Africa and Namibia. We went canoeing which was quite ... read more

Well we are finally here in Africa! Cape Town is beautiful. The weather hasn't been so great but we are still enjoying ourselves. Yesterday after spending the last 24 hours on planes and in airports we just decided to explore the V&A Waterfront. There were a few African song & dance street performers, lot's of little markets and the beautiful back drop of Table Mountain. Today we had our Table Mountain Tour... When we were about to leave it started raining and the cloud was so thick that we couldn't even see the mountain... Oh Well, our Tour Guide Lance made the day still interesting even though the Cable Way was closed. We first went to the Malay quarter where all the houses were all different colours. We have a good photo but can't upload at ... read more

Hi Guys Well it has been a long few days so far but I have enough energy after my hot tub at the hotel in Brooks to send this email. Plus i have some really cool photos that i wanted to share. Day 1 - All the way from Sydney to Calgary - and after a quick 1.5 hour nap we went to the Calgary Tower (similar to the Centrepoint in Sydney). We had a lovely dinner and met everyone that would be on our trip. The photo attached is of the glass floor you can stand on (more scary that you think) and in the other photo you can see the Stampede Grounds (the big oval building with the red & yellow poles on either side). After an exhausting day we were all in bed ... read more

We spent 2 days in Palma Majorca and we were still recovering from Contiki. Today we went walking along the port as it didnt look that far to the beach. After about 1 hour of walking we decide to ditch the idea of walking and jumped in a cab and said take us to the closest beach. We had walked about 5km and drove another 5 minutes to Cala Mayor Beach. We both fell asleep and woke up when we noticed everyone packing up & leaving as it looked like it was about to rain. Tonight we found a packed restaurant down a little street that didnt look like much. But once we got inside it was a great atmosphere, mostly full of locals. When you order spirits here, they have free pour, so even though ... read more
