We're currently in Hogsback, up in the Amathole mountains. Apparently JRR Tolkein came here on childhood holidays from Bloemfontein, and being here makes you half expect to meet a hobbit!
The drive here was a long and hot one and we were stopped by police road blacks multiple times to check licenses. The first time we basically took the car apart searching for Toms wallet which we'd almost written off as lost before it magically appeared in Maddies bag ;)
We're staying a a cute little backpackers/campsite called Away With the Fairies, set in a beautiful garden that feels more like England than Africa.
A 7km walk to some waterfalls this morning saw our hiking boots completely caked with mud so were spending the afternoon visiting an "Eco shrine" - the whole town is a bit of an Eco-tourist destination - and relaxing in the garden.
Tomorrow is another long drive down to the surfer town of Jeffereys Bay, then into the Tsitsikamma National Park.
