6th Posting - The Garden Route and Tsitsikamma National Park

On Monday we flew from Kruger via Johannesburg down to Port Elizabeth on the south coast. We landed to brilliant sunshine and 75 degrees. Perfect! It's a beautiful drive from Port Elizabeth to Knysna along the Garden Route, with flowers and trees, great chasms and bridges, mountains to the right and the Indian Ocean to the left!

Our first stop was Jeffrey's Bay to take a walk along the Indian Ocean and look for shells.

The surf was really wild at Tsitsikamma National Park.

We watched the waves crash against the rocks and then enjoyed the sounds of the sea while hiking.

Maxine enjoys a hidden waterfall.

Shirley and Joyce rest in the big tree.

A perfect calla lily with a visitor.

Maxine, Leora, Carol and Ellen traipsing along the wooden walkways.

our first view of the bridge

Two more suspension bridges hang on the side of the mountain above the surf.

Leora runs off that swaying bridge!

  1. I'm surprised mom (Leora) set foot on that bridge! It doesn't surprise me that she was the first on and the first off....at a dead sprint. We love you mom/grandma!!!
