So we're leaving J-Bay (aka Paradise!) after an epic 2 days of surfing, eating amazing food, and playing on beautiful beaches. We're saying good bye to Beth this morning :-( sad and moving on to Mossel Bay - where we are sleeping on a train and diving with great whites.. after our coastal 3 hour road trip on the left side of the road. Shenanigans are bound to happen. More pictures tonight -- promise!

Not so much Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my! More like Lions and Leopards and Ellies oh my! Due to our most amazing guide we accomplished the ultimate goal - we saw the Big 5... and all other assorted African animals. Between our ride and a armed guard bushwalk we came ridiculously close to some outstanding creatures. Please check out pics! Off to the coast tomorrow starting at Port Elizabeth.

Hakuna Matata! After a detour to London then onto Frankfurt where we created own shotgun tour of the city and now we are all safely in Joburg South Africa. The day has been spent visiting my cousin Beth's orphanage, hanging by the pool at our hostel, and eating dinner at an authentic African restaurant. It's AMAZING but suffering from some jet lag and "cankles" at the moment we will post pictures and details soon

Prior to being united with Team Asheville, Team West arrived safely Monday morning and wasted no time getting on to shenanigans! We spent the afternoon at the Lion park playing with Baby Lions (pics to be posted) and today (Tuesday) took a full on tour of JoBurg and surrounding area with slap in the face Apartheid history and current conditions... wow. Reunited with our NC friends, we're off to dinner!
