About a month ago, my friend Heather from the US arrived in Jo'burg for vacation. She accompanied Adriann and I on a road trip down the Garden Route of South Africa. The Garden Route is a picturesque drive along the southern coast of South Africa, running from near Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. We decided to fly to Port Elizabeth (as it would have been a terribly long drive to get there) and then rent a car for the remainder of the journey. We planned many fun activities for this trip including a canoe trip, a canopy tour, whale watching, horse riding, and shark diving! Even with all of the adventuring, we were able to have a pretty relaxing time, as we wandered from one quaint beach town to another. It really is some of the most beautiful country that I have ever seen in my life. Gorgeous, blue coastline meets mile after mile of magnificent mountains the entire drive. We took about 12 days or so for the whole trip, and we could have managed with several more days! If anyone is considering coming to South Africa, I would definitely recommend driving the Garden Route - it is breathtaking!
