So I decided to go down to SA to meet Jay (that did the divemaster with me in Tofo) for the Sodwana shootout. It took me 23 hours and 4 buses, 1 taxi , 1 normal car and 3 blown tires to make it almost all the way. The first tires blew so violently that the it slit a hole in the bus, injuring one of the passengers and making sure the rest of us were black with road dust by the time we got to Maputo! I took the road through Swaziland which is such a scenic route and I stayed at a lovely backpackers, the same one me, Jim and Suus stayed at in November. After 2 more buses and numerous hours at the border i made it to Hlue Hluwe (brilliant name). I ... read more

So I stayed for a bit longer... I rescheduled my flight from 25 January to 25 March. Then I realised I was not done with Tofo so I rescheduled to 5 June....and lets see if I go then! It is still ridiculously hot here, and if possible even more humid. Apparently it is meant to cool down now as we are moving towards winter. Sounds good to me but I'm worried about the water temperature dropping. Finally, 10 days ago, I finished my course and now I am a Divemaster!!!! Hurrah! It feels great and now I am working for the dive centre and actually making money!! Oh yes, you heard it - I am making the big bucks, perhaps as much as 3k per annum...now thats certainly a grand income! oh dear.. The diving is ... read more

Tofo - we finally made it!!!! In the rain we made it..and the rain didnt stop for 5 days! I had to wear jeans and a hoody, thats how cold it was, and everything was soooo damp..not the best start. The rain cleared and we saw the place, its goooooorgeous!!!! The beaches are spectacular and the market is nice and bustling and the views and people are great. More than anything, its peaceful and quiet!!! No people on the beach!!!!! The diving is beautiful - the diversity stunning!!! Its now 29 degrees in the water and visibility varies, but sometimes as good as 25 m. Ive seen some amazing stuff, and i see it almost everyday!! I decided pretty early i was going to do my divemaster here so i picked a place called Liquid adventures ... read more

Hello!!! Finally I have some internet and lets hope the connection is strong enough to upload some photos this time! After Swaziland we made it to Kruger!!! I bought a tent and a camper chair in Malelane before we went through the gate, very exciting! We stayed in Skukuza and Lower Sabie and Satara and Letaba and also Crocodile bridge. All were lovely camps however Crocodile bridge could do with a pool... The game viewing was so much fun!!! We saw pretty much everything possible apart from Cheetahs.. The hyenas spopilt us and we got some good lion action! The birds of prey were brilliant and it was all over a fabulous experience, especially for me as I was a safari virgin! Janis the van only made it for 24 hrs...then after several tows and dramas ... read more
