When I booked our trip to South Africa today it felt like a dream. It did my heart good to have something to smile about when lately I've been feeling a little down. You can check out the itinerary here.

Posted by: stef at February 25, 2005 10:10 AMThat is a very nice itinerary. I work on the outskirts of the V & A Waterfront and if you are ever at a loss on your days of leisure, I can give you my cellphone and you can give me a call. Day 4 - I hope they are taking you to Boulders Beach as that is our biggest penguin colony and they even venture into the town. If you want, I can give you tips on where to shop to get the best prices. You don't appear to have much time in Durban and hopefully they would have added to your itinerary the new water theme park iShaka - it has just won a global award for being one of the best water theme parks in the world. Swaziland is beautiful and they make the most amazing handblown glass ornaments of all kinds of animals - a nice place to get souvenirs (my best is the elephant and the whale). Days 9, 10 and 11 you will be in awe. The beauty of that part of the country is something to behold. You will truly get a sense of being in Africa. Take lots and lots of photographs. I can assure you, you will have an unbelievable african experience and you will want to come back again and again. Have a wonderful journey out here and when you land, I will silently welcome you to my city.

Not sure why. :( I hope that we both feel better soon!
