Left for East London late morning to try and have some time at the shops and maybe even go sandboarding dependant on the weather holding out. ... The drive only took us an hour, shortest leg so far! This was Alex’s last night in SA so while we were at the shops we thought, What the Hell! Lets Suit-UP! and go out somewhere fairly upmarket.Left for East London late morning to try and have some time at the shops and maybe even go sandboarding dependant on the weather holding out. ...

Oct 22, 2007 - Addo Elephant National Park nach East London

Die Nacht war nur kurz; einerseits war das Bett dermassen unbequem dass man fast besser im Auto geschlafen hätte und andererseits mussten wir um 5:45 Uhr beim Treffpunkt sein um unseren gebuchten Sunrise Game Drive anzutreten. Nach dem zweistündigen Ausflug sind wir dann auschecken gegangen und fuhren durch den südlichen Teil des Parks um daraufhin nach East London zu kommen. ... Dann gings weiter und während wir in East London rumfuhren kam dann auch der Strom zurück. ... Viel zu sehen gabs allerdings nicht.Die Nacht war nur kurz; einerseits war das Bett dermassen unbequem dass man fast besser im Auto geschlafen hätte und andererseits mussten wir um 5:45 Uhr beim Treffpunkt sein um unseren gebuchten Sunrise Game Drive anzutreten.

May 22, 2006 - Baz Bus

So my time at CDS has ended and our last night out with them was certainly one to remember. I'm now in East London (no not UK - it's still South Africa!) just for an afternoon. ... I have been to Cintsa a couple of days ago which was really lovely until we had torrential rain and thunder and lightening storms and me and 2 other girls got caught an hour away along the beach with no coats or anything! There is a great hostel there called Buccaneers and we had a cross-dressing party night there for someone's birthday.So my time at CDS has ended and our last night out with them was certainly one to remember.

At wilderness park we stayed in another ronduval, a very typical village house seen all over rural South Africa, a cold but cheap stay muffy and I got up and left, and so our experience of the garden route was finished we were tired of being cold and headed up toward east london. Purchased major supplies in East London, including wine and food and we headed for the warm shores of Coffee Bay and Bomvu Paradise, a famous are known for relaxing, Transe, surf and drum making. ... With a big party nightly next door at the coffee shack.At wilderness park we stayed in another ronduval, a very typical village house seen all over rural South Africa, a cold but cheap stay muffy and I got up and left, and so our experience of the garden route was finished we were tired of being cold and headed up toward east london.
