is a book by Kate Adie. She is a great lady. Kim and I have two copies of her book in hardback and have read a quarter of it between us. But the thought is there and if I read further, I think that Kate and I would find that we are in agreement.
South Africa is full of very nice people. More than twice a bloke has come up to us, when we are looking through the Lonely Planet, and said "are you planning your trip? If I can help at all then give me a shout." Don't remember that happening much in the UK. And the speed with which people have pffered us accomodation at their place is mental too.
Anyway, I'll come back to this, I think. Because it is quality and makes a big difference in a far flung place.
I surfed today. By that, I mean I fell about itnhe waves a lot trying not to get banjoed by small children who were actually surfiong. I also got sunburnt because I am not very clever. Port Elizabeth tomrrow. And we are staying with Gareth's friend Mike. I hope he is nice and not a serial killer. If he is not nice or is a murderer, Gareth's ass is grass and I am a lawnmower.
We are in Bufalo Bay - which is awesome. The backpacker's here is a great place and cheap as you like. Beautiful quiet beach. Clean room and we removed the MASSIVE rain spider from our window so hope it is now arachnid free. Spiders give me the willies and it was a big spider. They don't bite apparently, but they do scare.
