The Old Bridge Backpackers. Such a lovely place to arrive at after the days in Cape Town! The bar and restaurant that are overlooking the river. The fig trees that gives shade. The pool that you can cool of in during and after a hot day. The out door showers that allow you to watch the stars while having a shower. The tent we slept in. The nice staff. Awesome! We higly recomend this place! Horses! Our first day we just spent in the sun. Finaly it is warm! =) And we knew that in the afternoon we would - at last!- go horsebackriding. One from the staff took us to the stables by boat, don't we all love boats? =) We got our horses and set of, surrounded by dogs that was very excited to ... read more

Day one Our final stop in South Africa - Cape Town! Arrived late on sunday night and had a quick bite to eat before we hit the sack. Monday was spent wandering around a bit in central Cape Town. Not too energetic since we still were a bit sick. We managed to visit the Company Gardens anyway! =) A nice park where we had fruit salad with ice cream. Nom! As we were walking down the street we bumped in to Marvil! What are the odds for that? *haha* A city with 3,1 million inhabitants and we meet the only one we know! =) Day two Today we felt a bit better so we decided to go up to Table Mountain. Took a taxi for R45 and payed R74 p/p to go on the cable car ... read more

In Knysna (for Swedish; you say Najsna) we stayed at The Island Vibe. We got busy straight away! A quick dinner at Nando's consisting of veggie pitas (Try them!) and then we took a shower and fixed ourselves - it was time for a night out finally!! And not just any night out - Pink Loirie Gay Festival was in town!! Met a lot of nice people, Marvil and Craig in particular, and guys just kept buying us drinks. It was crazy! Me and Jenny spent most of the time on the dance floor of course! The gays loved our moves!! -Daaaarling! You dance fabulously! Robert was the craziest of them all! *haha* Started the night at Zanzibar and when they closed at 2am we moved on to Tryst until about 5am... One of our GREATEST ... read more

Port Elizabeth was great! Stayed there for 4 nights. First night at Helicharter Backpackers but decided to leave since the place was virtually empty... =( Instead we walked down the street and found Kings Beach Backpackers. Awesome place, one of the cleanest we have come across! The manager at KB is an amazing man called David. He took us for a township tour. A township is basically the slum, but the government are building new houses for the people living there so life quality is slowly improving. Went to this old lady that was taking care of the township kids who's parents can't afford school. David bought them crisps and they were delighted! A woman that lived in a tint house let us in - the misery! When it rains her house get flooded and water ... read more

Finally Africa! The lady that checked our passports was very dissapointed, shaking her head when we did not have a place to stay. -Crazy backpackers. This how ever turned out not to be a problem at all. As soon as we stepped out of the terminal a woman came up asking us if we wanted to go to Fatimas Backpackers. And of course we did! Also met a 73 year old man from Sweden. Very friendly old navy officer. He gave us his number, just to call if we were wondering about something. =) And if we say like this - the air in Africa must be something special, he looked very healthy! Arrived at Fatimas at noon. First things first - we needed meticais! Went to an ATM. But no... could not take out any ... read more
