Yes we paid Sidney a visit and he wasn't working so we ate there anyway, which was actually quite nice. We then met Lynn our friend from the hostel and took her to see a horny little devil we know called Quintin (pics to follow). The next day (our final day in the area) we chilled, packed then again paid Quintin another visit with Lynn to say our goodbyes. It was a very emotional time as he was totally in love with us both and wanted a threesome. So following that night out we left as we were both exhausted haaaa yeah right we are goers not really. A quick peck on the ............... cheek (although very tempted to tongue him) we left skipping up the road like you do.
The following morning, Lynne bless her heart waved us off on the Baz Bus (this picks you up and drops you off at all the hostels along the garden route). This arrived at 7.15am oh great we thought. Thinking the journey was about 2 hrs we settled into our seats and arrived 7 hours later, not realising how far it actually was. Exhausted but alive we arrived to our first garden route stop in Mossel Bay. What a place. Our accommodation was an actual train carriage located on the beach, it was tiny but they had a lovely bar and beautiful beach and the scenery was wonderful. We spent most of our time there in the bar as our hips were just not built for the entrance to the carriage so for two nights we slept on the beach ha no not really. We should have done really it was so hot in there. On Saturday night the locals were all out on the beach having Braai's (BBQ's) and making lots of noise, we just sat awaiting the sunset which did not happen so we sat there drinking until it did, which was about a day later.
So Monday arrives and off we set on only a 2 hr journey (or so we thought) to Oudtshoorn up in the mountains literally in the middle of nowhere. Once arriving George for our connection shuttle we were collected by Frouline and Helga by car to literally whiz us up and over the mountain to our hostel. It was like a brands hatch visit thank god I wasn't wearing my hairpiece this year it would have been a gonna. Anyway, a lovely place very scenic although not that near much so we have been walking up and down the hill to the only pub in town, what little soldiers. It does have it's own pool though and it is much cleaner and nicer. It was so nice to finally have a shower and hair wash after 3 days as the last place had really grim showers so we washed mainly in the sea.
Our second day here (today - Tuesday 17th) and we went to the Cango Caves which were amazing although we declined the adventure tour in the fear of getting lodged into one of the small caves then continued back down the mountain to the Cango Animal Reserve to see lions, cheetah, tigers, crocs and Aligators (pics to follow). A great morning and very worthwhile. We are now in town having a few drinks and yesterday was 45 degrees here but luckily today is only about 40 degress so quite cool ha. Early night tonight 1) because of having the climb up that god damn hill again 2) because we have wine indoors, plus we will need a little dip in our private pool before bed. What a life, by the way you lot, how is work and how cold is it there at the mo?
Tomorrow we set off yet again with rucksacks on our back (what a treat for all to see) back on the bus to the Wilderness, which we hear is fantastic. So we wish you all bon voyage for now and will be back soon.
Keep well all of you, LOL Kellie and Karen xxxxx
