Well last week we had a great trip down the Garden route and up into the Karoo.
Boy was it hot though, the further south we went the more we saw signs warning us of the drought stricken area. According to the locals the Garden Route is not so 'gardeny' because of it. Which is clearly why we weren't blown away, but the views were beautiful, the sea water warm and our accommodation great.
We did find the atmosphere rather dull though, maybe because of the heat and drought, maybe because of the season (most coastal areas are quiet) or maybe that's just how they are?? Take Knysna for example; a beautiful water front, packed restaurants and bars but no atmosphere. We barely had to raise our voices above a whisper, quite dissapointing actually.
The Karoo was even hotter, but funny enough had seen more rain than the coast. Can't say we got much time to relax though, suppose we need a holiday....
Watch the quick clip of some of our highlights, at least I got some good waves in water warmer then Durban!
