I went on the 3 day Garden Route, it was a very last minute decision and probably my best decision while I was in Cape Town.
Day 1 we went to see a beautiful cave and ostrich farm, it was a long drive from Cape Town so we got to see some beautiful scenary. We made it to our chalet by the beach at sunset, it was just stunning. Accmodation was clean, cosy and perfect, you could hear the ocean and walk to the beach in 5 mins. We went o watch sunrise on the beach one day. There was an amazing cafe near the beach were we good great coffee and fresh scones.
Day 2 we went to the Monkey and Bird Sancuaty, and ended the day with Zip lining as it was too windy for bungee jumping (which I was not going to do anyway), it was perfectly paced with the right about of breaks and stops, I reallt enjoyed the sessions. We also happened to be driving past another amazing beach with beautiful white sand, we were lucky enough to see a Whale!!! I was screaming with excitment.
Day 3, long drive back to Cape Town, we had the amazing view and the Game safai, where we saw 4 of the Big 5 (no water bufflos), it was so good, it lasted about 3 hours and we eneded the day with a nice lunch at the Game Lodge. Had an amazing steak there.
Hayley and Emma, were amazing host, they took us to places where they knew the food was good, I got to try so many different foods. We have regular stops for coffee and cakes, which made my day.
We were lucky to have an amazing group, it was small group of girls and we all just got along so well, Emma and Hayley left like they were on holiday with us.
Hayley made sure we were fed, maybe over fed, not that I am complaining. Hayley drove all the way, even when the weather was bad at times, she handled it so well... And Emma was just so pleasent, intelligent and authentic, it was a pleasure to have met them. I wish I had more time on the tour with them and the girls I met.
