The Garden Route!!

Following the finale of our respective placements, Sarah and I packed up our small 4 door vehicle with our baggage... and Christa and Paul... and took off along the garden route. The garden route is a popular coast line about 5 hrs directly east of Cape Town. It was given its name as it is known to many SA as paradise- given names like the garden of eden and wilderness, and it certainly lived up to its name, more so due to the simplicity of the towns that line this amazing beach-lined coast.
We made stops in Swellendam, Mossel bay, Knysna and Plettenburg Bay. Highlights included a bay tour in Knysna, a dodgy stay at a backpackers in Knysna (to Sarah's disappointment... it will be Christa's first and last time staying in a backpacker), an amazing day hike on the Robberg Pennisula, witnessing an attempted boat rescue due to unusually high surf in Plett and lots of laughs to the point where Sarah limited Paul and I humour categories. Do all canadians use a quota system for humour??
