Garden Route: South Africa at its best


We spent four nights along the Indian Ocean, staying Wednesday at Dolphin Bay Hotel in Mossel Bay, Thursday and Friday at the Protea Hotel Keurbooms River at Plettenberg Bay proteahotels.co.za) and Saturday at City Lodge (citylodge.co.za) at Port Elizabeth. We brought an air mattress to put one of us on the floor each night.
I found these hotels on the Internet .travelocity.com or hotels.com). Each was modern, clean, well located and less than $100 per night.
We spent our time on the
Garden Route touring the coast line, stopping for lunch at Knysna (where Cape Towners go for a getaway), hiking the Otter Trail and Storms River suspension bridge in Tsitsikamma National Park and stopping at the surfing town of Jeffreys Bay. This is a vacation paradise with all sorts of concocted activities (inner tubing down whitewater rivers, bungee jumping, hot air balloons). We figured that our shark dive had been exciting enough, so we avoided these.
