Day 22; The Garden of Eden

After staying two days in Cape Town we started traveling along the south coast of South Africa up to Jeffrey Bay. This part of the country is called "The Garden Route" and you have not to travel far to see why. The whole area is full of plants and flowers. Many of them are endemic, what means that they only grow at this certain place on the earth and nowhere else. In the bible is written that Adam and Eve had to leave the paradise, the Garden of Eden. But if you walk through this fantastic landscape, those garden the nature built up, you think that this story must be wrong. Because you are exploring the paradise with your own feet.

The main road to Jeffreys Bay runs manly a little bit away from the coastline. But you have a lot of possibilities to access the awesome coast which can be very steep at some points. Especially the way from George to Knysna, the heart of the Garden Route, has a couple of nice lookouts along the coast line. If you have luck, you can watch whales and dolphins out there.

Further on, the Storms Rivers Area and the Tsitsikamma National Park are worth a visit. Also you will pass a Bridge which has a height of more than 200 Meters and offers worlds highest bungee jump. All in all it was a wonderful trip. But after so many impressions we've been lucky to stay some days at the same place, in the small summer house of my friend Moosa in Jeffreys Bay.

Next time I'll write a little bit about the safari trip we did in Quatermain's Camp near Grahams Town.
