my South Africa experience

it’s a special tour experience
Going through customs Oliver got asked for his yellow fever certificate, rather unusual as I didn’t get asked and even when I went to show the guy mine he just waved me away.  Anyway got through okay, grabbed bags which were out in a flash then ventured out to try find a place to stay.
Hello beautiful lovely modern South Africa.  Can’t tell you how wonderful it was to arrive, despite it being 5:50am and having had pretty much next to no sleep since 6.30am the previous day.
Thankfully for us when we returned to the hostel just after 11 our room was ready and we were able to check in.  Wicked.  Splurged on a lovely double which turned out to be a lovely big room with wooden floor boards, bay window overlooking the garden and pool with double and single bed.  It was massive.
Somewhat sorted and rested we wondered up to the hostel bar for a beer and game of pool before heading down the road to the Colony Arms pub for two more pints and dinner – chicken schnitzel.  Yummo.  Fed we struggled to finish our second pint so called it a night and strolled back to the hostel stopping off along the way at a second hand bookshop as we’re both determined not to be stuck reading any more crap on the second leg of our trip to Nairobi.  Oliver may dispute this fact given my choice of books but I’m sure a 3 inch book on the Cray brothers and various other British gangsters will prove interesting reading when driving for days on end.   Or my chick book entitled “Drop Dead Beautiful” oooooh with a title like that how could it not be interesting.  I’ll definitely report should Oliver be caught reading either.
