Sounds, good. I haven't seen Sabie Sands, but it shouldn't be that much different from Southern Kruger Park. I've visited Kruger twice, and it's just been awesome.
I'm a supporter of the aids awareness programs down there, but, unfortunately, the people that should recognize the threat aids poses to society and themselves - namely the majority of poor and/or uneducated people - simply don't.

Anyway, I haven't been to the US west coast, but I doubt I'll find it better than Cape Town area.
Also, Somerset West is a kind of a semi-beat, it's like new Germany. More foreigners than locals. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you should ever happen to go down there again, don't pass up on the Garden Route - it's by far the most beautiful part of SA imo.

Yeah AIDS seems easy to avoid, yet people always think with their genitals [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Anyways I know what you mean with your somerset west comment, it's definately true, I stayed at a B&B owned by a german, he was the most friendly german I met in my entire life though (and I met a lot of germans [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), definately good times.

What I was wondering though, I'm a surf addict, and was slightly disappointed not being able to find a surfboard because all shops were closed (Christmas). So I just went for a swim instead, but practically nobody was in the ocean, they all said it was full of sharks. It was kind of weird swimming there all alone constantly checking if I wasn't being chased by a great white. Is the shark population really that high, or are South Africans just scared easily?

Cape Town didn't really live up to the image I had of it, don't get me wrong though it was still a great city!
