The First Few Days

Hello again.

I'm sitting in an internet cafe in a town called Nellsborough. It was one of the host cities for the World Cup, but we're only stopping here for an hour and a half on our way from Jo'burg to Hazyview - a town just outside Kruger Park.

To kill time here, I'm going to recount all the interesting things of note that I have encountered so far.

- Heathrow Terminal 1 has A LOT of WHSmiths. I counted 5. Another one was being constructed

- On the plane, I sat next to a lovely woman called Ana. She gave me chocolate cookies, some menthos sweets, a Schwepps, tips on where to go in Durban, and 20 Rand. All I could offer were fruit pastilles. At first she politely declined, but I was able to later force them upon her.

- My drive from Airport to Hotel was called Sepa. He was an Arsenal fan, and his favourite African player was Adebayor. Unbeleivably, despite these problems, he was a nice guy.

- Today we left the hotel at 7.30 to start our mere 10 hour bus ride. 5 hours in, here I am, talking to you.

Lots of love to everyone!
