Africa Plan.

I have just received an e-mail from my cousin Steven with the details of my African adventure.

Hey,

I've confirmed most of our holiday details, with the exception of what we might want to do at each of the places we're going to stay, but we can organize those when we get there.

There are a couple of things we need to do when you first arrive here, namely getting all our passports to the Mozambiquan embassy in Pretoria for visas (for which you'll need two photos), as well as organizing anti-malaria tablets for all of us (if you're allergic to anything, let me know - and no, Ross, rum is not an anti-malarial).

These are the dates we'll be doing things (maybe you want to let some family know where you'll be, or just plain make them fkin jealous):

1st May: you both arrive (please just confirm arrival flights and times again)
2nd May: public holiday - we can just chill out or recover from hangovers
3rd to 6th May: we got to the Pilanesberg Park, for some game viewing and caravaning (it's not far from Sun City either)
6th May: back to Joburg
7th May: we all go to see the musical show "Chicago" - Steph
booked it a while ago, so we have to go ;-)
8th May: chill out, or maybe go see some sights around Joburg, or recover from hangovers
9th May: I have some last minute work to do - someone has to pay the bills around here
9th May (pm): us three drive to the coast - Steph stays behind to work and has to finish some studying
10th May: we drop Tami off to go see her other grandparents (not far from my folks)
11th May: surfing, play pool, fishing, rum swilling, guys stuff
12th May (pm): pick up Tami from other grandparents
12th May (pm): Steph flies into Durban - we'll all go up and have some dinner in Durban on the beachfront
13th to 15th May: stay at the coast - do some more surfing, fishing, play pool, et al
16th May: we all drive back to Joburg
17th May: drive to Pretoria to pick up the passports from the Mozambiquan embassy
18th May (early): drive to Mozambique border post in time for it opening - stay over at Casa Lisa, 50km north of Maputo
19th May (early-ish): drive to Guinjata Bay approx 500km north of Maputo
19th to 26th May: stay at Guinjata - diving, snorkelling, fishing, vegetating, rum swilling, et al
26th May (am): drive back to Casa Lisa and stay overnight
27th May (early): drive back to Joburg
28th and 29th May: Joburg - see if there's anything else we can do (maybe a guided tour around Soweto or something)
30th and 31st May: Drink like demons.
31st May (pm): fly out

Apart from the above, there's not much organized..... ;-))))

Let me know if there's anything in particular, apart from the above, that you might want to do and we'll see what can be arranged.

Any questions?

See you in 17 days or so......

And that is to be my month off work. It's getting closer by the second. I feel like a kid let loose in a candy shop.
