Hi all,
Cape Town is a good place to visit - very compact and full of both tourists/travelers !

The hostel is quite handy, the others in the dorm don't snore too loud and the food is good. Soon I will have to get back up there to watch the Boks play the Aussies (Breda - that's rugby).

The Disco was delayed arriving and there was a mix up with Customs as I hadn't provided a key for the back door padlock !!! :[ - as I was traveling with hand luggage only, I've had to buy the essentials and a couple of extra T shirts.

But I should have it tomorrow (Monday) - so I'll be in CT until Tuesday night to do some last minute purchases and then head up the West coast before heading across to the East coast and then heading North to be in Leshoto by 15th.

Hope all is OK back in the UK. I've had a look at the fotos of Kings Heath following the tornado - impressive : just the thing you need after having a new roof.

Keep up the good work - well those of you that are working funding my travels !! :-)

As my laptop & camera is in the Disco, there won't be any words / fotos for the website for a while.

Got to go - the hostel is a mile or so away (it's got a v slow internet connection, so I'm in a cafe in town) to get a good seat in the bar for the match.

Speak soon
