Left Umzumbe around late lunch time (big mistake!) thought it would be an easy few hour drive down to Coffee Bay but soon found out that the only road to Coffee Bay was from an inland (100km) city Mthatha or Xhorsa spelling Umtata this city is known for its high crime rate so it had a lot of us worried when we had to stop to refuel the car just after the sun went down. ... This drive took us about 6-7hrs so we arrived in Coffee Bay at about 8pm. ... They were short of space in dorms so Ruan and I had to pitch our tent in the dark before hitting the bar hehe… In the morning the activity offered was a ‘day at the beach’ so we all took up on that.Left Umzumbe around late lunch time (big mistake!) thought it would be an easy few hour drive down to Coffee Bay but soon found out that the only road to Coffee Bay was from an inland (100km) city Mthatha or Xhorsa spelling Umtata this city is known for its high crime rate so it had a lot of us worried when we had to stop to refuel the car just after the sun went down. ...

Me and Pettet were the only ones to get it though!!! Rock 'n' Roll baby!!!! Anyway Coffee Bay is completely different to the rest of Africa that we have seen so far but really amazing and quite humbling. ...
