We spent the last three days driving the Cape's famous Garden Route - allthough to be honest nether of us had heard of it before we arrived in SA. The Garden Route is approximately 400km of spectacular mountainous, forest-lined and coastal road between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.

We hired a car in Port Elizabeth and set out on our way, enjoying the spontaneity and freedom of our road trip and the breath taking scenery. We spent the first night at Mossel Bay, a coastal town overlooking the Indian ocean, before making our way to the picturesque town of Knaysa where we feasted on salad - a treat given the reserve's staple meat and cheese diet. On our way back to PE we visited the Tsitsikamma National Park annd the "Big Tree", an 800 year old tree not unlike the Big Pineapple.

Next stop, Cape Town...
