Well, I have been telling you what a great time we have been having in Africa, and it has just been fantastic. What I did not mention is that we have a couple of total a**holes in our group whose idea of visiting Africa is to sit by the pool, drink themselves into a stupor each night, and either sleep all the next day on the bus, or talk loudly about what they drank the night before.
It has been driving the rest of the group crazy, so we have decided to do something about it. Us, being Me, Dwayne and our friend Andrea from Melbourne.
No, we did not feed them to the hippos, but that would have been an idea. We have decided to head out on our own, renting a car, and driving the GAP itinerary ourselves. Yes, we will lose our GAP payment, but why be unhappy for the rest of the trip. Plus, it should be a lot of fun.
Andrea, like me, is on a one year around the world trip. She is going in the opposite direction, so it is South America next for her, and India for me. And yes, just today we saw a TV for the first time in weeks, and heard about Mumbai.
We are in Durban, South Africa now, and will be heading towards Cape Town. We plan on arriving in Cape Town around December 9, and will be there for some extra days. Still plan to stay at the African Train Hostel (or something like that).
Let the next adventure begin!

Sounds like you've seen SO much game - fabulous ... just too bad you had to EAT IT TOO!!! Bad karma!
Sorry to hear things were somewhat tainted by two *&$holes on your trip - why do people like that even bother going somewhere like Africa? They belong in an all-inclusive resort in Mexico where they can just alternate between drinking and staggering to their room without affecting too many others around them! But glad you felt comfortable enough to strike out on your own - hope you didn't miss out on too much of the GAP Adventure. Sounds like 'camping' is quite fancy - flush toilets and showers ... I might reconsider my African plans!
Take care - keep having fun and don't get eaten by any wild African game such as MOSQUITOS!!
Hugs,
L & T
