Driving on empty
We get up this morning, and after checking out we're on our way back to
the coast, but first we take a detor to buy a couple of ostrich eggs
to send home. Once we're back on the road it is an excellent drive
down to George. We're following a train track once again and we see a
train for the first time since we've been here. As we …
Cape St. Francis: Musseling and Surfing included!
... I must tell you the breaking news that happened here. The other week in St. Francis, four men were having a braai (a barbeque). The winds had gotten so strong that a spark had carried. Within about four hours 140 of these HUGE homes were burnt down completely (mostly the ones with thatched roofs)!! We went to go visit one of the days and it was absolutely devastating (pictures ...

We braai’d both nights which is ...
Day 144 146 - SA, Jeffrey's Bay - Shopping Heaven
... The water was cold but not freezing so in between shopping we took off down to the beach for a swim, body bash, sunbathe and to watch the boats battle it out against the breakers. Quite a spectacle. As much as he'll hate to admit it, Oliver turned into a shopping machine. He was loving it, although thought shopping with me a pain cause I never objected to anything.
