Hippos and crocs galor
Having left Durban I have spent 2 very drunken nights and 2 beautiful days in St Lucia wetlands park, a world heritage site. I have met some brilliant people. In St Lucia there is a massive estuary where there are thousands of hippos and crocodiles. The hippos even come up into the town to eat at night. There are monkeys everywhere, in fact they are considered a pest here - I find it hard though when they are sitting do innocently infront of your hostel cabin! I was meant to go whale watching but this was cancelled due to really windy weather - nevermind, some other time. We did a lot of chilling out (in other words, recovering from hangovers) and trips to see the hippos and crocs. Yesterday morning some of us went to a beautiful beach called Cape Vidal, passing rhinos and zebras on our way. At Cape Vidal we went snorkelling and saw some amazing fish.
I am now staying in a bush camp in Bushlands next to a game reserve. It's an incredible place. Monkeys, lizards, bush babies and other animals all around. Went on safari today, absolutely incredible.
Have to go. Lots of love to you all.

Thanks for the great time we had, the three of us. I enjoyed working with you and Hermien, discussing the situations we faced and having fun!
Hope to see you again some day!
