Sun 23/2/97, Pretoria, South Africa
Hello Dave, Mailing you as promised, hope you`re at home this weekend and have checked you`re e-mail since last night.We 3 arrived by train in Pretoria yesterday avo about 4.30 (we drove the train, well we stood up front anyhow!) and came straight to Mazuri Backpackers lodge. BBQ last night after a huge hail storm - 33 degrees C and about 4 inches of water flowing down the street ! BUGGER! ---Update Bit--- Have been along the south coast of South Africa, North into Lesotho (small landlocked country within S.A.) and out the other side to Pretoria. We all climbed the mountain behind some blokes house where we stayed in Lesotho. Every night in Lesotho was spent by candle light or parafin lamp and in the last place we had to pump water by hand if we wanted to drink or cook! ---current thinking / plans bit--- We`re gonna try to see some lions and tigers soon and climb a volcano and a mountian (well it is Sunday afterall and the shops are closed!) seriously though, Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya, you`ve probably heard of them??? later,I, M & E
