		<title>Multimedia blogging at the National Arts Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grahamstown is waking up. The gradual change from a sleepy student town to National Arts Festival mayhem follows a years-old tradition: the re-painting of the city centre road marks and affixing the brightly-coloured nameplates to the numerous venues. It’s that time of the year when B&#38;B’s and shops repaint theirexterior and the lawns are put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing jail time at Devils Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our adventures in Guyana we stopped over in Suriname for another week of lazying.

		<title>Hate to say &#8216;I told you so&#8217; but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[O yes, I was right. It took foreeeeeeeever to get to Kaieteur Falls, the tallest single drop waterfall in the world (251 meters). Brian loves doing things the hard way so we tried to get to the falls by ourselves, without a guide &#8230;and&#8230;without a clue of what was ahead.

		<title>Hiking the Kanuku Mountains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We hiked to Jordan Falls, some unexpectedly massive waterfall hidden deep in the Kanuku jungle. Joe and Kenneth, our two Amerindian guides, made sure we didn&#8217;t trample snakes and pointed out every hummingbird that zoomed passed.
