Down the Garden Path
Our first couple of stops on the Garden route have been about wine and whales! I couldn't resist a second visit to Stellenbosh, with a stay at the humble Stumble Inn. The day started off with another wine tasting and cellar visit (of course) and finished with me shooting way too much jäger and dancing on a bar. It was my first official night "backpacking" so needless to say I woke up with my liver ...

We had remarkably clear weather, which meant the water was as clear as it could be to view the misunderstood, razor ...
Great White Sharks need I say more?
... of South Africa is the Great White Shark capital of the world. Their favourite food, Cape Fur Seals are available in abundance, in a colony just off shore some 74,000 plus, and the waters hugging the coast are warmer and there for higher in oxygen content and so an ideal location for Great White Sharks to chill.
You may have read about shark attacks recently? They have a very successful shark management system which includes people (spotters) on beaches and in ...
