Isolation cells The buildings on the right in the picture you titled "Isolation cells" are in fact dog kennels, the house on the left was occupied by Robert Sobukwe, who lived there for 6 years in isolation.
We envy you guys! Defiinatly not your regular all inclusive! Very interesting, nice seeing your pics! Good job! Looks like you have seen and
are doing more than what you have anticipated.
Can't wait to see you guys sometime after you're back.
Celebrated Shauna's birthday (35th) on Friday with a surprise and then again with Joann on Saturday for her (65th) surprise birthday in the same day resturant.
Mom's birthday was in Aruba and we'll be celebrating again here with Ray and Ruth and Chicken fingers.........I mean Dave and Marie this Saturday.
We'll pick maybe Red Lobster and blow their minds!!
ENJOY and have a great time you guys!!
Love Ted and Connie
Car Watcher! I think i just found my new calling in life Megan... Car watcher!
Pluses:
- get a tan
- earn money
- stare at cars all day
minuses:
- tourists who don't pay the fare and force me to key their car
- living in poverty due to lack of income
Awesome blog though. I'm really enjoying reading each entry, i've learned so much. Africa is even more amazing then i thought.
Waterfall me What a fantastic chapter in your SA adventure. I'm blown away by the beauty of the waterfall. Again, you seem like you're the only people there. That must be nice.
1,000 Words About Johannesburg Just an FYI, wanted to share a blog we did today (please feel free to cross-post) about our travels in Johannesburg, South Africa. We blog everyday from all over Africa at a website call Border Jumpers (http://www.borderjumpers.org) and for the Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet (http://blogs.worldwatch.org/nourishingtheplanet/).

Amazing! Wow! Cape Town looks amazing. Glad to hear you enjoyed the rugby experience. Looks like a nice stadium!
The penguin and shark photos are incredible and i loved the "look under your car for penguins" sign. You didn't say whether you "shat" in your wetsuit. Although 5 minutes probably isn't enough time to accomplish that feat...
What happened..... You forgot to send me my ticket to join you in Cape Town!!!! I am patiently waiting. Looks like your trip is going wonderfully, glad to hear you are having such an awesome time. I see that you appreciated Heidelberg, we spent only a few hours there last fall and fell in love with it, definitely a place I want to go back to.
Take care and continue to enjoy! Donna
Wine and rugby Ok, I'm sold: South Africa is next on the list. Are people as friendly as they say? Edward and I watched a South African movie the other night (District 9) and it made me want to go to SA. Now your blog is the coup de grace.
Ted and Connie Response Hi Guys! Nice that you've made it down there safe and sound. Very interesting - read all (4) of them.
We will check the Blogs daily.
In this short while, you have seen quite abit already. Being on that South tip and the shark cage was quite intriguing
to us. You'll have to let us know more when you get home.
An update from us - We came back from Aruba yesterday. Just loved it. Temp 31C-34C daily, sunny, windy with trade
winds as you have at the Cape. Trees also have that definite side ways angle.
Ryan, hope all is well with your health - we are always thinking of both of you guys!
Love - Mom and Dad ~~~
Wow!! Jason is going to DIE of jealousy when he hears about the shark diving! Love the pics and stories. Thanks for taking the time to blog. Looks like another fabulous Menzel Adventure! Mwah!!
So, people in Africa don't watch the Olympics? Makes me realize how unimportant Canada losing to the USA is. Look at the beauty of the land in Africa. Wow.
