Moving On Up....

It has been a while on here mainly because I have been on the move for the most part of the past 4 days. I left Sunday night from j-bay to pt. Elizabeth. Got a ride from a doctor I met who was going back that way. Stayed in backpackers Sunday night with a reservation for the safari the next day. The town of pt. Elizabeth is pretty lame, mostly just a stopover for traveling up the coast. On Monday I finally went on a safari, a real one not animal kingdom at Disney. What am amazing day!!! I was picked up around 2pm by the game park and driven about an hour to the reserve. The tour was done in an open range rover that you would expect of something like that in Africa. I saw all of the animals I was looking forward to seeing except a cheetah. The giraffes were amazing and the lions were the most breathtaking animal I have ever encountered, watching something so powerful and in control of every situation right in front of you is an amazing thing that I think every person should experience and that doesn’t mean jump in your car and go to animal kingdom. We then went back to the camp and had tea before setting of on the nocturnal safari to see the nocturnal deer and crocs and what not. Ended the night beautifully by a fire and then a superb dinner. Returned last night about 10 pm and was up early this morning at 7 for the bus up to east London where I am now. I just finished having dinner at a very nice couple’s house whom I met here. It is so amazing how much every person in this country knows about their own history and that of their country. It seems u would never find that in the U.S. which brings up great conversations everywhere. I miss everyone and hope all is well in civilization as I am moving up to more untouched parts of the Dark Continent and into the Transkei. No paved roads or street signs. I will put up pics from the safari ASAP cheers nick
