Update

Well it's been a while since I put an update on here. I've had a productive few weeks. I've booked my flight, so am officially leaving on 23rd January 09. It's a little later than I had hoped for but it saved me about £200 so was worth staying in the UK for a couple of weeks! I've opened a new bank account to use in SA which is good. It's amazing how different all the bank charges are. I've opted for Nationwide as they seem to be the cheapest by a long way. I just hope their exchange rates are competitive.

At the moment I don't have anywhere to live in Clarens. Apparently there's nothing up for rent right now, so I'm praying something will become available in the next month or so. Ideally I'd like a small studio flat in a development called La Rola.

I've been getting really excited recently about going - last weekend I met up with the girls I was in Clarens with last time and we did a lot of reminiscing. It was really fun. I'd forgotten what an absolute adventure it all was!
