Safari in South Africa - The Windy City Start to The Garden Route
Our safari in South Africa has progressed to Port Elizabeth, the northern start to the Garden Route. As the plane glided into the airport, the pilot announced that we were approaching the Windy City. Unfortunately, so far it has lived up to its name! The weather has been rather cloudy, in the main, although in the very hot sun that shone through yesterday morning, I have managed to get some sunburn and that was with sun screen on.
As I write hard driving rain is pouring down, so I guess that the best place to be is here in the internet cafe writing to you.
We are here in Port Elizabeth for our chidren’s tennis which started yesterday. When the tennis finishes we are driving back to Cape Town down the Garden Route to show the boys wonderful places like Knysna, Brenton Beach and Noetsie.
Bearing in mind that it is high holiday time here, it is amazingly quiet and we are enjoying our free time. Everyone we meet is so friendly and eager to assist us. Where we are staying is lovely, clean and airy. Our hosts, Margaret and Brian come from London, UK and are very accommodating.
When we get back to Cape Town, I’ll post some photos of our wonderful day out to Franschhoek last Monday and our first visit to the Waterfront, Cape Town.
