Honey, let's look at the moon...

Daniel and I had no idea where we wanted to go for our honeymoon.

We always knew that we where going to get married and at the beginning of our relationship we had this dream that for our honeymoon we would go to Cuba. Daniel will sit on a balcony at some 1-star hotel and drink Cuban rum and smoke Cuban cigars and I will put on the most reveiling red dress and move mysteriously through the streets and we will meet and make sweet sweet... pancakes!

This obviously didn't work out.

So the Monday after our wedding day we packed the car and still had no idea where to go to.

Now, you'll know what I am talking about when I say this. On your honeymoon the only thing you want to do is sleep. You don't realize how tired you are until you are on honeymoon. Organizing a wedding is alot of work!

Mozambique it was! We didn't plan anything which I think by the way is the best way to travel.

Hey Daniel! Would you like a R&R?

Yes, your eyes are right, it is a prawn!

Hey, did anybody watch the new Tin Tin movie? It was awesome!!!

Cheers!

Dear Angola, you say "Murca", I say "Mirka".

I am scared of flying. I start hyperventilating a week before and even now thinking about flying even though I am not flying anywhere, it makes me want to throw up.

But going to the places I want to go to includes flying. And Angola was one of these places. See, my ideal travelling experience would be to knock me out before going to the airport and then to wake me up with a cocktail in my hand on a beach at the destination. A girl can dream right?!

My dad works in Angola and Simone and I decided to go and visit him end of last year. Man oh man! It was good!

This is what Angola taught me:
- Women too can carry a stove on their head.
- Party on a Sunday and skip work on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
- African-time should be Angolan-time or scrap that: "What is time?"
- Never ask for "cafè" - you won't sleep for days.
- The local alcohol have names like: "Superbok", "Gatho", "Murca", "Cuka". You will turn into one of those after consuming a certain amount of units.
-  Helmets are a fashion accessory not a life-saver.
- And take "You are the most beautiful bat I have ever seen in my life!", as a compliment.

That is true, you just eat with chicken!

Adeus!

Zimbabwe you silly monkey! Part 2 - I wish I had a farm in Africa...

So my friend Ronel inspired me to watch Out of Africa again. Oh my soul! I forgot how beautiful it was - the costumes, the scenery, the actors, the everything! Robert Redford was really handsome and I also want Daniel to wash my hair like that in a river somewhere in Africa!



Did I mention how much I love Africa?

After Bulawayo we went to Victoria Falls. This was definitely the highlight of the trip. It is a little bit touristy but sometimes you want that right? The backpackers was really cheap and cheerful, the booze cruise so relaxing and feeding the elephants - WIEEEEEEEEE!!!! It was amazing! I have never been so close to an elephant - they are so weird and wonderful! Their trunks are like hoovers and the hairs on their bodies are thick and kind of creepy but they are oh so beautiful!

We were at the bridge where the bungee cord snapped just a few days after the incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6F-ZtMIBxE

Daniel swopping his shirt for a nice bowl for me. He had to wear my shirt to go through the border again. That man loves me.

Bye Bye!
