Day 25 on Acacia Adventures...

Summary of first leg (Southern Africa by Overland Truck)

Day 25 is here and we have now completed our tour of Southern Africa. We've seen some breathtaking landscapes coupled with extremely friendly people and peppered with a few spats of craziness (in our activities). Namibia is by far the most beautiful country, with my personal favourite being Spitzkoppe - an awesome collection of mountains that we camped right under by moonlight and next to the odd wild Leopard!!!

As people, I would say that we have just reaffirmed that we like our own space. That is not to say that we haven't enjoyed being in extremely close proximity to 23 other people, normally 500km's at a time...as we have thoroughly enoyed it. But, and its a big but...we like our own space...as with every couple.

We have met some cool people though that we'll defs keep in contact with such as an aussie couple called Holly and Tony...hilarious couple. We're also defs gonna try and keep in contact with Becks (aka Baby Becks) and Mark (aka Markos Mantis) - not a couple, but a cool couple of people.

Anyways, you lot dont know who these people are so back to our itinery.

Part B of the first leg is 5 days in Cape Town (where I currently am). I have now booked to go Shark Cage Diving...yep, in a friggin cage with a known maneater!!...or rather, hes on the outside..hopefully!!!! Should be good fun.

Then we're going to do Table Mountain and Robben Island before preparing for Malaysia in 5 days time!! Wooohoooo.....bring it on baby!!!!!
