The Garden Route, Part 1

Part 2 coming tomorrow!!

South Africa's southern coast has a series of towns along a highway that are called the "Garden Route" because the setting is so green and beautiful!  We were expecting to enjoy our drive through the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, but had no idea how awe-inspiring the views would be.  We spent a couple of days driving from town to town, stopping to check stuff out when we felt like it.  A good time!

Enough words --- enjoy the pics!!!


Let's get the ridiculous road trip pics out of the way first, shall we?




Moving on...


JEFFREYS BAY






We drove over this bridge over the Storms River and I looked out and yelled, "CANYON" so loud it woke Melanie up.  We were not expecting this but apparently it's a really famous bridge/river/canyon!  There is a visitors center and a walking lane to go over the bridge.
