well this is gonna be an all rounded blog cos i haven't had an opportunity to write specifically about everything i have been doing. there has been lots going on so i thought i would just do a general blog and put some photos up of various places i've been and what i've been doing. i haven't updated since april which i know is really bad - sorry bout that!

i am still having an amazing time and at the moment am travelling the garden route with Kelly and Ruth who we met up with a few weeks ago in Durban. only 1 month left before i come home..so am enjoying myself a lot but also very excited about seeing all your faces again! yay! and tell you all the stories with facial expressions and everything!!!!

Photos

it's my stick
we went to the wild coast for a few days and did a practice hike for the drankensberg mountains

framed
this was some ruins at the wild coast..was really really pretty

snow in Africa?
who's have believed it? the mountains were covered in snow so we went boarding down the them..yeeeha

yaaaaaaaaaaaa
the waves were crashing so high on the rocks so kelly and i had some fun with the camera

more horses
this is from right to left sharon, Kelly, Dierdre, Ruth and me ready for our horseride

bareback
i plucked up the courage to ride bareback and it was so much fun..although the horse called honey was sweating buckets

drankensberg hike
this was a 4 day hike up mpunjane in the drankensberg mountains. the peak that we climbed is the peak to the right that is a rounded shape

drankensberg hike
this peak is 3100 metres high and we were almost there...the views were extraordinary!!!

drankensberg hike
we slept in mpunjane cave for the first 2 nights and it is 1 of the only caves in the world where the sun rises directly infront so we didn't even have to get out of our sleeping bags to watch it rise..this was the view

drankensberg hike
kelly and i on the descent..we had to come down a day early cos the wind was howling..my legs ached for days after coming down...ouchy
