South Afreeeeka Again!

Ok, this is gonna be quick cause my comp is out of batteries!

New Zealand = Brilliant!!! I saw almost all of it and still that wasn't enough. Can't wait to post all of my glorious pictures, but just go and watch LOTR and know that the movies don't even compare to the real thing. And it's not just the beauty, the people are equally as amazing. It was definitely my hardest departure yet (aside from leaving home) and some tears were definitely shed.

South Africa = I'm baaack. The sun is shining and it is on bright sunny days like these that I am thankful for global warming. It's been a bit of a frustrating week, as I arrived here and learned that they're again on school holidays and hockey won't kick into gear for another 3 weeks! This does allow me to travel, so tomorrow I'm off for some hockey in Pretoria, some more hockey in Durban (about a week left in each place before their holidays) and then a wee bit o' travel down the "wild coast" and "garden route" before my FINAL week here in cape town.

That's right...less than one month left! Crikey! I was only able to get a flight on the 26th of July so I will be back quicker than I can eat a pack of TimTams. It's been and continues to be one incredible journey and I am sure this last month will be equally as wonderful. As I near the conference I am struggling to find just the right way to present my 10 minute "show and tell" at the conference in a way that is fun and informing and gets at a fraction of this wonderful trip, so i'll keep you posted (who am i kiddding? no i won't!) on my progress.

Until then, hi hi!
