A different hotel every night.

After staying with the Ncibilika family, Todd and I traveled to the Southern Berg of the Drakensberg. We did some light hiking with our most awesome guide, Mdu, and got to gallop on horses at Khotso Ranch where we stayed. The region was gorgeous and so different from the coast, not just in scenery, but in culture too. There seemed to be a more fluid blend of races if I'm allowed to say that.

Back in Port Elizabeth, we met Kara on England v. Slovenia game day. The match was a blast, especially after we learned that USA had scored in the 91st minute and got to tell the England fans that they weren't first in group play. Kind of cruel.

The next day began our leisure drive down the coast along the Garden Route to Cape Town. Jeffrey's Bay, Plettenberg Bay, Wilderness and up to Robertson wine country.
