We arrived in Thabazimbi Limpopo late on Wednesday night after a full day travelling, south Africa is so massive!

Dan lives in an old farm with a boma and a pool good eh!We have enjoyed living out in the sticks with loads of animals all around, monkeys and warthogs in the garden, the odd white rhino coming up for a nosey! Thursday we has a party braai for Dans Birthday- a good time was had by all!party hats the lot!

Sandton Johannesburg




At the weekend we drove down to Sandton, near Johannesburg- the posh bit- ready for the balloon flight. We stayed in a cheap hostel nearby. We were close to a place called montecasino which is like disney land indoors- without the rides, loads of restaurants cinemas and a huge casino inside, which was very safe. Sunday morning we had to get up at 4am then we drove for 30minutes to the ranch where then flight took place. It was bizarre, the flight was really relaxing almost like you were floating on air, even the landing wasnt heavy a few bumps and we were down in one piece- it helped that the pilot was English too!!after landing we had a champagne breakfast- we got accosted by a couple form Melbourne who are addicted to Coronation Street- see Mum its not just you! we have the rest of the week in Thabazimbi before jetting to Hong Kong on Saturday!!
