Our mission this morning was to get out of Jo'berg as soon as humanly possible. The alarm went off at 7am and we were up, showered and out the door by 7:30. A quick breakfast and then it was on the bus back to the airport to pick up our rental car. We got a little Renault this time, which we don't love as much as our little VW Polo Simba, but it will get us where we need to go - we hope. We've called this one Pumba in keeping with the lion king names. So now we...

Today has been all about getting ourselves from point A to point B really. After checking out if the skankiest motel so far with the most annoying host we wanted to make sure we weren't missing something in Storms River so we drove back through the main (and I'm using the term loosely) street. Yep, nothing to see here. We quickly hightailed it out of there. We drove to Francis Bay Port which was a little beach town and had some really cute looking motels which ...

Then there is a hi...

Breakfast was delivered on our patio overlooking our awesome view of Knysna lagoon at 9am. I am very quickly becoming accustomed to this lifestyle so Nan and Pop please make sure Ashlee is trained up to prepare breakfast in the morning and bring it up to my suite. I was settling myself in for another day of solid eating but Elstub marched me out the door and told me I had to do some physical activity, can you believe it. I thought my new little rounded belly was...

This morning we had to check out of our little cabin in Oudtshoorn. It was a slow drive down to the coast with a few stops at little farm stalls and towns along the way. When you park on the streets here a guy will come up to you and tell you they will watch your car. So you go off and do your shopping and when you come back they walk back to your car with you proudly telling you that it is still there and they expect payment, usually about 5 rand. They aren't e...
