We packed and left Wendy's and PE by 9.30 and began our 650km journey down The Garden Route. I felt rather sad to be leaving Robyn, Craig and Andrew. We stopped at Jeffrey's Baai and watched the surfing and ate a late breakfast at Wimpy's. We then stopped at Storms River mouth in Tsitsikamma Park. It was very beautiful there with a rugged cliff coastline, violent waves smashing high on rocks, with beautiful flowers and dassies (rock rabbits) all around! Garth...

We woke up early and went to Addo Elephant National Park which was a 30 min drive up the hills from PE. It was only R40 each as Garth got us in as South Africans!

There house was amazing!!! They fed us amazing food and wine. Their daughter Carey and her h...

We then went with Robyn to The Yate's home where Lillian works (Mrs Yates told us how last year her lung collapsed 3 times and the operated on her by scraping off the outside layer of her lung so it would heal and mould itself to the ribcage and no longer collapse with NO PAIN KILLERS!!) and we took her out to Nando's for lunch. She had never been to Nando's before and I w...
