I am just back from a 7-day trip along the Garden route in South Africa. What an amazing experience full of adrenaline filled activities and amongst great people. Our Guide Lourens drove, cook, cared for us along the way. The rest of the group was 4 Chinese-American - Derek, Tian, Teresa and Dory, 2 Brits - Dianne and Josh, Jussy from Finland and a couple from Connecticut. We did so much it's hard to remember it all, but the highlights were:

• Birkenhead brewery for beer tasting
• Southern tip of South Africa where the 2 oceans meet
• Walk with lions
• Canoeing and hiking to a waterfall
• Cango cave adventure tour
• Ostrich farm and riding on an ostrich
• Wildlife rehabilitation farm visit- lions, cheetahs, tigers, leopard…
• Hike in Tsitsikamma National Park
• Zip lining over Storm river
• Game Drive in Addo National park - home of the densest population of Elephant in Africa
• Hang out at Jeffrey's bay - world know for its surfing condition
• Bungee Jump at the highest bridge jump in the world
• Visit a sanctuary of orphaned elephant and take a walk with them
• Paragliding in Sedgefeild - world known for the best conditions to fly
• Countless senic drives like Sir Lowry's pass

Now I am back in Cape Town. I am staying in a great house with some Swiss German. I am waiting for breeze which come most afternoon and doing day trips around town. On the list to do still are: visit Cape Point, hike Table Mountain and Lion's head, Wine Tasting Tour, visit the penguins in Simons Town and surf in Muizenburg. Not done yet with Cape Town!
