Have you ever visited a township in South Africa? I have to admit, when my boyfriend first mentioned it whilst flicking through the ‘Hop on Hop Off’ bus guide for Cape Town, i wasn’t keen on the idea.

I’m always shopping around for good deals when i’m looking at booking a trip. I often get quotes from travel agents as well as pricing up building the package on my own, and often find flight prices cheaper on skyscanner than quoted by agents, and using booking.com to look for hotels too.
