Here is a recap of the Garden Route.
Day 1: Hermanus. Beer tasting at Birkenhead Breweries (I didn’t drink). Whale watching in Agulhas. Lamb potjie for dinner. Connect 4, 13, and Egyptian Ratscrew until bed.

That's a whale. I swear.
Day 2: Southermost point of Africa where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. Hot springs. Wildlife reserve. Ostrich steak.
Day 3: Cango Caves. Elephant Sanctuary. Held hands with an elephant. Fed an elephant. Petted an elephant. Rode an elephant.
Day 4: Zip lining over trees and waterfalls. BUNGEE JUMPING. The highest bungee in the WORLD!
Day 5: Monkey land. Waterfront. Beach.
Day 6: Goodbyes. Crying.
Now that I’m back in the states, I’m not in the mood to write. I’ll try though.
Africa was… unforgettable. It kind of was not what I was expecting. First of all, it was cold. Haha. But seriously… I’m really glad that I had this experience. I met a lot of great people and I learned a lot from them. I also learned a lot about South Africa. It really is such a beautiful country with an incredible history.
Did it change me? I’m not sure. You tell me. I feel more… adventurous, I suppose you could say. After bungee jumping, everything else must be a breeze. The atmosphere and hospitality of the people was just so relaxing. I think their attitude made me realize that there is a lot in life to appreciate and you can’t appreciate it without slowing down or giving to others.
I really miss it.
But I guess this is it for my blog.
Farewell, world.
Perhaps I will revive this when I travel to reunite with my South African friends.
Until then…
