and in karabane I stayed one day, and if you see the pictures you will know what I mean for paradise, cause I was getting close to it. still it was a bit too busy, some too many whites, too many hostels (about 4), too much of a stoner feel to the area... there was a colonial church desolated among the trees to make up for it...... read more
