Catching Up

I have a lot of stories to tell and pics to share, so I'm going to try to quickly recap the last week or so of events quickly. This was taken on the Baz Bus ride along the Garden Route on the south coast of South Africa, on my way to a town called Knysna.
I stayed there for 5 days, went mountain biking twice, met lots of travellers from all over, had a few kickin Braai nights (BBQ), toured the local micro-brewery, and also went Abseiling (repelling) down a 400ft cliff right on the Indian Ocean. The scenery at Knysna was breath taking.
After Knysna I continued on to Plettenburg Bay where I did some hiking, sun tanning on the nice beach and swimming in the ocean. From there I went to a place called Nature's Valley, once again a place for great hiking through jungle forests as well as trails down to the coast. The next stop was Storms River, very close to the world's highest bridge based commercial bungy jump site. Laura, Steve and I went to the bridge, paid to walk along a suspended walkway under the bridge, some 216m over the river below, and then Laura decided in a moment of insanity, to jump off. She had about 4 seconds of total free fall, and then another 4 seconds or so of the bungy cord slowing her down before she sprang back up again. She said was it was absolutely incredible, so I actually regretted not doing it myself, but I can easily rationalize the missed opportunity by thinking of the money I saved by not jumping.

These pictures aren't really lining up with what I'm saying anymore, oh well, so I'll just finish up by describing where I'm at now and what's happening. Today is my last day in Jeffrey's Bay. I've had a wicked time here, went surfing 4 times, partying at the hostel with dozens of other travellers from all over the world, did a little bit of shopping at the surf clothing factory outlets, and today we're going to head over to the famous Supertubes surf spot just a few km down the beach, where all the pro surfers go.

Then tonight I get on the Baz Bus again and head to Port Elizabeth, my last Baz Bus stop. From there on I'll have to figure out other transportation. I plan to head up to a place called Hogsback for a day or two, to Cinsta, and then on to a remote village called Bulungula. After that I'm hoping to go to the small country of Lesotho to meet up with a German guy I met in Storms River. That's all for now.
