A little behind on the writing

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Hi all

OK so I am rather behind on my posts. I promise to stay upto date, or as close as possible. Pretty much I am going to write about some interesting experiences and thoughts and rate all the hostels I have stayed in. Since my 2month trip has now turned into 5 I think its time to start writing.

Well I landed in Cape Town after a 40+ hour travel time. Was met by cousin who I have not see in about 10yrs. The last time I was in Cape Town I was 3 so it was like landing in a whole new coutry for me. But due to the fact that Iwas rather jet Lagged and leaving on the early us the next morning to Port Elizabeth, I decided to wait until my return in December for exploration.

I stayed at Sunflower Stop BackPackers, but since I was only there for a few hours I can’t really rate it. However the staff were friendly and the hostel clean. There is a grocery store just down the way. So it was a nice quiet place to hang your head.

The next morning I boarded the bazbus with driver Barry at the wheel. Bazbus is an excellent service especially for those first time travellers. However it can take twice as long as the normal bus because it stops at a lot of hostels on the way, but then again thats what makes it good.

I will write more later….. have to go help plan a christmas party for the local african school tomorrow… Later all
