From Jo'Burg to Vic Falls- The Two Week Trip Is Over

Wow, it's been a long time since I was on here. Let me first apologise for the lack of contact- Don't blame me, blame Mugabe and the lack of internet cafes in Africa. Theres so much to update you on, I do not know where to start.

I'll try at the beginning.

The first stop since my last post was Kruger National Park. Kruger is a massive safari park- bigger in size than Wales. It also has a lot more giraffes than Wales. We saw 4 of the big 5- only the leopard eluded us.

From there we headed to Mozambique. We spent about a week there, mostly sunbathing (ok, you got me, sitting in the shade reading my book. Our time in Mozambique didn't start off too well however when just over the border, when stopped for lunch on the roadside, there was an attempted burglarly on our truck. Two kids tried to get in, but luckily there was a cop near by to catch one of them. We were then able to witness the African justice system first hand, when our guide Mufaro was given the freedom by the cop to rough him up a bit.

Oh, I also went quadbiking in Mozambique- that was cool.

For the last 5 days or so we have been in Zimbabwe. Despite what you here in the media, its actually a lovely country with amazing scenery and friendly people.

At the moment I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Victoria Falls town. The falls are incredible. Lots and lots of water suprisingly. This morning we did a bit of white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi. It was the most adrenaline-filled awesome experience. Next time youre in Zimbabwe, check it out!

My computer is flashing with 2 minutes of internet left, so i'd better wrap up. Off on Monday to Botswana, I hope youre eagerly anticipating that installement of the blog.

Lots of love to you all
