EMAIL from Jo

its been a while........just arrived in swaziland, been in mozambique where there is absolutley nointernet, but is the most beautiful place......so me and miri spent about 3/4 days in the ophanage inblantyre, malawihelping out. it was a real experience, a nurse just shoved a tiny weeniebaby into my arms and told me to feed him. so i fed my first ever baby, itsnot as hard as i thought. we had an absolutely amazing time and would loveto go back - it is a little upsetting but well worthwhile.we then flew to jo'burg and met dug. bought a new rucksack and some clothes,thankfully. i officially no longer smell and have some bellongings again!!!then spent 2 days pretty much between my dorm bed and the toilet, with somedisgraceful bug type illness - i'll let you use your imaginations, and i'llsay no more about it. suffice to say i saw little of jo'burg!! miri camedown with it aswell and dug nursed us very well.....the first day feeling ok, i popped a couple of immodium (wonderessstuff....) and we jumped on a bus (luxery compared to what we're used to)and crossed into mozambique - to the capital, maputo. from there we met aguy, john, who was catching a bus the next day to tofo, up the coas. so wehijacked his plan and traveled with him. tofo is a tiny little place on thecoast, with amazing views and the best seafood you could wish for......yumyumits the type of place you can get trapped in. easily. and we met quite a fewpeople who have! dug signed up for a dive course, and before we knew whatwas happening, me and miri were wearing very attractive wetsuits and doningscuba gear ourselves...........we did our first sea dive the next day, and i was blown away. my ears weretotally fine and i wasnt scared at all. the fish are like summit out ofdisney - huge and funny shapes and colours!!!added a few dives to the end of the course and all three of us are now'advanced open water divers' - get us........ i want to describe everything
manta rays (huge great things) while swimming around. unbeliable. got an ear infection on last few days, but hasnt stopped the last week being absolutely the best. met nice people, chilled, learned to dive and pretty much had soooooo much fun. theres nothing like chilling, watching the sun setting over the sea with a cold beer, hey???? so, whats the weather like at home at the moment????????? anyway, hope everyone is well, and i'll catch up properly with you when get to SA when much cheaper to email etc. take care,
