Backpacking in East London, SA

27 February, 2010 - 01:00 — dom

Yesterday evening we arrived at the Buccaneers Lodge and Backpackers resort, just outside of East London, in Chintsa West. Established back in 1983, these guys are considered one of the early pioneers in the South African backpacking industry. After a little confusion over the sleeping arrangements we check in and enjoy an evening meal of South African braai with potatoes and vegetables. A few Castles later and we retire for the evening.

Port Elizabeth, SA and Beyond!

26 February, 2010 - 01:00 — dom

An interesting day was spent in Port Elizabeth, aka Nelson Mandela Bay... But that was the easy part.. Arriving there proved to be a bit of a challenge - in the quest to discover how fuel efficient we are.. 'someone' by the time we reached Port Elizabeth, kept insisting that the fuel gauge was ok, even though it was reading below the red line.. "dude, did you hear that?", "hear what?", "there it is again!", "what?... by the way why are we stopping here in the middle of the highway?!!"

Well, anyway it worked out well and we only had to push the car 200 metres as we discovered that the petrol station was luckily only around the corner! Oh yeah, and just in case you were wondering.. the car gives us just over 700k's for a tank!
