ITALIA!

Our last few days in Jeffreys Bay were really nice, but as for Joburg...it was to put it simple a shit hole. we were in a place so dodgy you cant walk around the city even in broad day light...and the hostel was shit and over priced. however we made it through that and then many hours in transit in joburg and cairo airport. we are now in Italy and its pretty awesome. we are liking Milan...especially the Gelato! Its stinkin hot and so humid...but its such a good change after South Africa! Anyway off to Venice tomorrow...and then on to Croatia!

More pics of Robben Island & Boulders Beach and the Labia for Hava










J-Bay






France & Uruguay pre match, Us outside Green Point Stadium, The crowds in the streets of Cape Town, A view of Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain.


We survived the 11 hour bus ride rather well...and actually slept the majority of the way. Apparantly the drive up along the garden route is really nice...but since it was dark we couldn't see it anyway. We are now in J-Bay and it's pretty awesome. we are in a party hostel right on the beach and the weather today is warm and sunny. If the weather stays the same it looks like we are just going to be beach bums for the next few days XD

Now to try and add some more pics...

Moving On

We have had a good few last days, Robben Island was amazing. The tour was run by ex-prisoners and was so interesting. Boulder Beach was also great, got right up close to the penguins...and some other strange wombat looking like animals. Anyway today is our last day in Cape Town. We are taking a 12 hour bus ride up to J-Bay tonight. Apparently the weather is a bit warmer up there...we are hoping so anyway!

The first few days...

So the first few days have been incredible! We have climbed Table Mountain, which was amazing. A somewhat challenging climb when the boulders you climb up are between knee and waist high, but definately worth it. The view at the top is unreal. I'll post a pic here if i work out how....otherwise ill try facebook when i can

Yesterday we went to the fan fest where the big screen is, it holds approx 25 000 and we partied there all day (with a fulll crowd) watchin the opening ceremony and south africa vs mexico. so much spirit, the people are crazy! the street are full too. nothing like home. we also bought vuvuzelas, so much fun to play - everyone has stand offs playing them in the street and from balconys/cars etc. we went to the match france vs uruguay last night. the stadium is awesome, however the game was a bit average... but still heaps of fun! Oh and we had the most aweosme dinner last night...at the Eastern Food Bizzare..the cheapest curries and muslim food in Cape Town and they tasted so good! whole meal for 2 of us = 30ZAR whihc is about $5

So thats the run down for now... we are off to have more fun!
