Dear All I continue to drive along South Africa's Garden Route, the first leg of my epic Cape Town to Johannesburg adventure, from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. I hit the road again the day after my whale watching trip in Hermanus, and had very much another driving day - I think there will be plenty more of these to come as South Africa is such a huge country, and my trip is not a simple down-the-...

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Driving the Garden Route
There you are off the beaten track again. You'll have to get into town and park before dark. I know it is hard as there is so much exploring to do but the power outages are nerve racking. Was there any one song that seemed appropriate for the drive? Oh-- it would have been an adventure to drive across the farmers field. Your ability with languages is startling to me as I am not. Continue on. Your walk in the forest sounded perfect. I'm glad you were able to visit a school. We like visiting hospitals. The catamaran looked nice. Happy travels.

Garden Route
Indeed, off-the-beaten track is very much where I like to be! It was a great trip, Knysna felt very special. I definitely aimed to arrive in places before sundown. "Don't Stop Believin" felt a good song for this trip - a song about travelling and moving on I think. Thanks for reading and commenting :D

Local Culture
Thanks Dave! Indeed, I enjoyed learning about the local culture while in Knysna. So much to learn, so little time!

South Africa's Garden Route
We never did get to Cape Agulhas. The only viable option would have been to abandon the Baz Bus and hire a car. Our soundtrack for the South Africa leg was the Freshlyground album, Nomvula ... played to death in just about every hostel. We would see them live at the Shepherds Bush Empire, a couple of years after our return. Nostalgic memories.

Music
I love how music can do that, bring back memories from trips! I always try to have a new soundtrack for each trip, for precisely that reason. Cape Agulhas felt special, though I understand how you were limited to the Baz Bus stops.

Extreme points are a bit fun to visit
It is a bit fun to visit extreme points in the world. I've been to North Cape once (saw nothing due to thick fog) and to the eastermost of Africa (that was not a tourist spot at all). /Ake

Extreme Points
Yes, I love extreme points too. Oh wow, you've been to Africa's easternmost point! Well done you! I've done the western and southernmost points of Africa now. I somehow missed its northernmost point in Tunisia.

Oh, my bad
I've made a mistake in my comment. I meant the westernmost point of Africa, and nothing else. /Ake

Westernmost Point
Still pretty hard to reach though! I remember having to scramble through a little village to get there.
