South Africa!!

whew! finally on internet!
well so much has happened! after amazing Malawi and an incredible new year in a luxurious mansion in vilanculos in moz, we headed down to Barra lodge in Inyambane in southern mozambique- spotted a WHALE SHARK! yay!!!! then crossed over the border to southafrica.
it was such a joy to be on beautiful roads where the fuel stations are full and the shops well stocked and everything is signposted! especially after the roads of mozambique- sopme goos some bad some merely potholes.
we headed to the Sabi river valley where we took a hpot air balloon ride over the river at 5 am- thanks to balloons over africa! what an amazing experience- to watch the sun rose from 400m above the trees.
then we headed onto to skyway trails- africa's longest cable slide- 1.2 km through the trees of hazy view split over 9 slides! fast and adrenaline packed!
then onwards to joburg where we encountered some incredible street kids involved in a project called 'i was shot in joburg'. an amazing photogarpher Bernard gave 15 homeless kids disposable cameras to use around hillbrow then picked the best ones to exhibit. now he's hooked and they have a permanent project set up!
all the footage will be used in our 'cutting the red ribbon' documentary.
then onwards to Durban to spend time with the family- sadly it is pouring with rain so not much to film at the moment but the sun will come out on saturday so here's hoping ;-)
we're geeting a proper website designed at the moment so will keep ya posted on the updates.
for the moment thoug- lots of love and will catch up from capetown (hopefully it won't be too rainy!)

kenya!!!!!

sorry it's taken awhile to write but we've had NO internet in kenya!
so to recap- we left Addis after staying at the fabulous Sheraton hotel and headed down to Kenya on the worst roads known to man! seriously! moyale to marsabit in northern Kenya is dangerous for 2 reasons- the roads destroy tires and there are loads of bandits! after destroying our rear shocks and avoiding the bandits we ended up in the samburu game reserve staying in samburu simba lodge as it was too waterlogged to camp! what an amazing place! seriously since being in kenya we have seen EVERY animal known to man! hung out with Rob and lisa from dubai- who very kindly brought down the shocks and rear window from Monal at nissan and we've been having a blast! yesterday after seeing lake naivasha- where they filmed out of africa- we headed to masai mara and saw a cheetah kill a reedbuck then the lion walk off with the prey! amazing amazing! loads of pics taken on the jvc and canon cameras! check them out! lots of love- sorry if this is short and sweet but internet is gold dust here! lots of love xxx
