I have named this as part 1 as I have so many photos and so much has happened that this is the prequel to the final blog from the South African leg of the trip. In light of this we will go back a good few weeks although I know many o Read More »

The homelands

Coffee Bay from the hill
The Transkei is known as 'the homelands' because of the darker apartheid years in South Africa. It was considered a seperate country and was specifically where the Xhosa people could live freely. On the positive side going to the Transkei now you really feel like you are in Africa and in man Read More »

Supers on our second day in J-Bay
Time is flying by and you haven’t had an update in a while but we have plenty backed up so expect a little flourish in the next week! Jeffreys Bay was epic, I don’t really know how else to put it!

Penguins, wine and you guessed it... surfing

Cheers
As I was saying in the last blog Cape Town was action packed and a really great stop. With penguins, wine tasting, surfing and getting involved with Tim and the Isiqalo foundation as well as the local football team we had a great time. Cape Town has too many things going on to really be able to see Read More »

Cape Town to Mozam, 13 weeks have come and gone...

 Saturday, December 17, 2011 - 13:19 , Posted by Chris
When I saw these kids with pieces of styrofoam I just had to lend them my boards
Coming off of a great time in Tofo, Ponta was always going to be a bit of a difficult stop, but in all honesty it turned out perfect. After our arrival and the first surf which you saw the photos of already it was a really easy beginning. Winds were not perfect and we had a bit of weather, but livin Read More »

We have been up in Mozam for almost two weeks now and they have been absolutely fantastic.
