Road trip South Africa style! Ray, Andre, and I packed up the car and headed off for our three day drive from the southern tip of Cape Town, to sunny Durban in the north where Andre's family lives. After a few hours of driving on day one, we stopped off to see Andre's grandparent's 'Oma and Opa', who fed us a nice dinner and gave us a warm place to stay for the night. In the morning we continued on our journey for about 8 hours or so, stopping in the surf town of Jeffrey's Bay, then finally making it to Durban the following night. We saw lovely country landscapes along the way, tons of animals, and sadly, a lot of 'shanty towns'- villages of shacks made out of scrap metal and random materials, as the economy here is quite varied- either you are doing very well, or very poorly, and it seems as though many of the native people here fall into the latter category. It was a great experience to see the countryside along the way, and we had a great time going out with friends and family in Durban. I'll show you our safari trip in the next entry!
