We finally reached our final African Country of our big overland adventure - we still need to pinch ourselves on making it this far and just how amazing the trip has been. The last out of the 8 African countries - Lorna's homeland. We entered into South Africa through the natural border of the Orange River (separating Namibia and South Africa) Here are a few of the great highlights. THE CAPE:  Canoeing on the Orange River which was an absolute nightmare of 3 hours of pretty much paddling in circle!!!  The Warm Baths at Citrusdal. We were super impressed on how hot the water was!  The beautiful view and crystal clear weather going to the top of Table Mountain. What a view!  The fabulous dinner at "The African Cafe". Our last supper with our new found friends of the 42 day overland trip  Lorna seeing her cousin & family and all her close friends  Concert/picnic at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with a famous South African band called "Freshlygound"  Driving from Muizenberg along the coast via Cape Point, Hout Bay and Camps bay with Cousin and friends  Scratch Patch in Simons Town ( A gem stone factory where you can scratch for your own picked stones)  Sundowners at Camps bay  Braai's (BBQ)  Gordon's Bay - Bikini beach  Wine tasting in Stellenbosch. The awesome wine and chocolate tasting at Bilton!!! (Lorna was in her element!)  Meeting up with Kirst and Darren!  Oudstoorn - The Ostrich capital of the World. We visited an ostrich farm where Steve had a ride on one too. These birds are super strange and we learnt heaps of weird & wonderful facts!  As well as the Cango caves in Oudstoorn - The adventure trail which would be highly illegal in the UK for Health and safety reasons!!!  The scenic drive of the Garden Route - which is an infamous area of South Africa for it's lush green scenery, rolling mountains, forests and Highest Bungy in the World (no we didn't do it!!)  Steve & I having some quality chill out time alone after 2 months of solid socializing.
