Journal Entry:

Had to be out of our lodge by ten. Dean was diving so I packed everything to the car and then hung out until Dean was done. While we were at the dive center we heard that the conditions were terrible and that pretty much everyone was getting sick. My dizziness problem aside I was pretty glad I'd decided to bail on diving today. When Dean got back we found out that he'd been sick. Had lunch, said goodbye to everyone (the dive staff here were very good), and hit the road.

Ever since Pretoria we've been seeing this advertisement for a hostel that has a Jacuzzi and we've been fantasizing about it. After three days of diving we're ready for it. Get in late in the afternoon and get a rude reminder that this is still Africa - the Jacuzzi is broken - we stay anyway. Watch bad TV (six million dollar man among others) and head to bed.
