We enjoyed our time at Bulungula, and we're glad we made the effort to go there. But the lodge itself could be a little more organized. It takes them forever to make up your bill, so if you want to get an early start you should settle up with them the night before. When we went to pay our bill in the morning, the girl was off having a shower and we had to wait around for a half an hour. Not that big of a deal, but there were other people waiting too.
Our bill for 4 nights was R1,685 ($177) and that included one dinner meal, parking, and a few bar drinks. Not bad. We had brought food for self catering so we made our own meals the rest of the time.

- Not A Good Start To The Morning
I looked at my email 1st thing this morning to find a notice from AT&T of my latest bill, which is well over double what I've been paying for TV and internet. I called them to cancel the entire package. I can do without TV if I have...

It was only supposed to reach the upper 90's today and at 4pm it's already 102. I've come to the conclusion that if I had to pick between living in a hot climate most of the year or a cold climate, I would definitely prefer the...
