After exploring all that Cape Town has to offer it was time to drive the Garden Route. Our first stop was Hermanus which is famous for whale watching and diving with great white sharks. Unfortunately when we arrived the weather was bad and all the boat trips including the great white shark experience was cancelled (gutted). However we still had a fab afternoon watching whales from the shore, it was really surreal.
Our next stop was Wilderness which was a four and a half hour drive through some breathtaking scenery. We stayed at the Fairy Knowles Backpackers it was amazing set in the forest in the national park, with a camp fire and outside bar. It reminded us of camping but with extremely nice rooms - to our fellow camping buddies you would you would have loved it. The next day we went kloofing ( travelling down gorges and waterfalls) down the Kaaimans River and abseiling down 45 meter cliff edges through waterfalls, a fantastic day out the scenery was unbelievable. The top picture is Mike and the second my goodself!! I was really brave.
Jefferys Bay a fantastic place a mecca for surfers - Chris you would love it. The waves are massive and surfers fantastic its a really chilled out lifestyle. There is loads of discount shops selling really cool stuff , however Mike has curbed my spending so only managed to by some flip - flops!! We have spent a few day here before heading back to Cape Town
