Port Alfred, South Africa - 15th August 2008

By: Vicki

We loaded up the car and together with Vicki's mom and Juanita and Nicholas (the men had to stay behind and work!), Vicki drove us along the Garden Route to the Sunshine Coast and Port Alfred.

We drove over many rivers with beautifully designed bridges. The Storms River Bridge is one of the famous ones with it's deep gorge below. The story goes that the Italian architect who designed the bridge commited suicide by jumping off it because when the two sides were lowered they didn't meet exactly in the middle, there was a gap of a few centimetres!!

We finally arrived (500km later...) at this most beautiful hotel. It was called the Fish River Sun

Here we are getting some fresh air and admiring the fish pond at the entrance of the hotel.

This is where we were staying for the next week, yay!! I could manage this luxury, I was sure!! There were lots of monkeys around but I was a bit nervous to talk to any of them, they are wild!
