In Northern Rhodesia!

Firstly, to all those pepole that read this regularly (family, loved ones, pets, admirers, steve from Denver, etc.) we do apologise about the lateness of our ability to keep this amazing publication up to date.

So, what have we done?

After leaving Grahamstown, we continued our amazing journey through the Eastern Cape with Andy, to the sunny seaside resort town of Kleinemonde. Bringing with us many bottles of wine, beer, cider and then finally ten bottle rockets (left over from when America renounced its goodness.) we bravely watched soccer at the local bar then decided it was time to hit the beach.....at 11pm.......slightly tipsy.....and with fireworks. With wine and rockets in co, we decided to let off the final ten rockets, which may (and probably should) have caused grievous bodily harm but in the end produced a splendid evening.

After that debacle, we left for East London (Buffalo city), where we were graciously put up by Andy's parents. Alain & Debbie were wonderful hosts & made us feel at home. It might have been after the jager-bombs at 8PM that we knew the night was going well. We were driven around the hotspots of East London, but the highlight had to be East London Zoo. Andy's parents had pulled a few strings & the three of us were allowed to "cuddle" the baby lions. To understand what really happened, replace the word "cuddle" with "scratched" & the word "Baby" with "angry". Adam's jeans now bear the evidence of the attack & we also have several photos of William being bit on the rear end by a lion. At this point, we decided to leave Paul alone in the cage with all three lions. Needless to say, comedy ensued.

From that point, we got a flight from East London to Jo-burg, stayed there overnight & caught the early flight to Livingstone in Zambia. We've checked into our "kiff" hostel & will update you all again very soon.
Cheers
