Chris, Fergus and I arrived in Mtata at around 3:00 and then had to wait until around 4:30 for the Baz bus from the other direction to get there. She shuttle out to Coffee Bay took about an hour and a half...I thought it would be about 45 minutes but I had heard wrong so the guys were not impressed! We got there around six and Fran and Thommo just happened to be there so it was awesome to meet up with them again! We went for sundowners at a lookout point and then had an amazing dinner. I have to say that the Xhosa bread they make in Coffee Bay is the best bread I have ever had. I looked forward to that part of the meal every night! Coffee Bay was pretty amazing. ... read more

First of all, sorry for the lack of pictures. I didn’t bring the camera out too much because I didn’t want it to get stolen. Okay so I spent a week in Jo-Berg with Lise which was great aside from the fact that I got sick. I think it was from swallowing a bit too much of the Zambezi while I was rafting. I went to the doctor and she said I was fine and pretty much just had to wait it out. There was also an almost overdose at the hostel we were staying at which was a bit freaky since it was me and another girls who found him. Nothing like walking out of your dorm to someone convulsing on the floor. He was okay in the end which is good but they ... read more

Hello All Welcome to my adrenaline page! I know it has been forever since I have written a blog and I should really be filling you in on my life for the past 6 months....and I will I promise...just thought I should close this chapter first! To be honest I thought I had already published this entry...ooops! So I decided that January was my month of adrenaline....or at least it was the start of my adrenalinejunkiness! I am actually wishing that I could have gone skydiving as well but the money situation didn't’t quite allow for it. Oh well another time! This was a good way to start out the New Year! First of all I decided that it would be a good idea to go bungee jumping. The thing is that there really is no ... read more

Hello all I am sorry that it has taken me so long to write another blog, I have been out in the middle of nowhere for the last while and the internet connection has been down. Wooooo fun! Okay so I will have to fill you in on all my adventures since Christmas. We went out to Jefferies Bay on the 27th for a few days to meet some of the girls from our original volunteer orientation group. We stayed at this hostel called Island Vibe which as you can see from the pictures is right on the beach. I loved it there. The atmosphere took a little getting used to though seeing as they partied until about 4am every night. It took me a bit but I finally figured out that if I just join ... read more

Hello all This last week was a very short work week! We went back to the reserve on Sunday night, worked Monday and then headed off on tuesday for our trip to Cape Town. We got to go on the Lion walk with Colin and Annetti on Monday morning alone so it was well worth all the good pictures! Just got back from Capetown yesterday so now I am back in quiet old PE. We went there for our Christmas beach party which was okay but a bit boring. We all ended up leaving early and sitting on the balcony at Zula in Cape Town for hours listening to live music and drinking. I have to say that I couldn't be happier to be where I am right now. I am having a hard time thinking ... read more
