3 May 2011: What's new on TravelPeople

What will people come up with next? In Finland they have an annual contest to see how far they can throw mobile phones. Now I appreciate that sport brings people together and that it creates a sense of belonging, but somehow I can't see myself getting excited and cheering on my favourite contester while sitting next to the 'mobile phone throwing' field ... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Nokia's international headquarters are based in Finland or that it's their way of recyling mobile phones, who knows? I suppose we should just be thankful that they are not throwing switchboards or fax machines. I sure can't wait to see what added feature they next invent for mobile phones, but I better keep up with evolving technology! Speaking of keeping up with the latest - I am off to Durban, so this week http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ brings you the latest news, the greatest deals, and a whole lot more a little earlier than usual!

This week sees the start of a brand new COMPETITION where you and a partner stand a chance to spend two unforgettable nights with dinner & breakfast at Isandlwana Lodge - with a bottle of wine and a Zulu Village Safari thrown in for good measure! How special is that?
