GARDEN ROUTE TRIP!

So for one week during my time here, the VAC staff organized a trip that goes along the south-western coast of South Africa. We took off 8 days, rented a mini-bus-van and had the time of our lives. I'm not going to write too much because we did sooo many things. But here is a "picture diary" of everything. Basically, we went to lots of beaches, went hiking, saw elephants, rode ostriches, saw monkeys, went bungee jumping, went surfing and went to the most southern tip of Africa. ....it was AMAZING! 

Started driving with a magnificent view

Me and Robin were back-seat buddies

Our hot wheels for the trip, and even hotter driver, Vanessa (on the right) from VAC

Went to an Ostrich farm, where we RODE ostriches (video is on my facebook!)

Feeding an Elephant at the Elephant Orphanage in Knysna


Elephants were so calm 

We went to MONKEYLAND




Secluded beach near Plettenberg Bay. It's my favourite place in the whole world. It's like Heaven on Earth!

Right before I was heading out to Bungee Jump off of that Bloukrans Bridge!

Surfing in Jeffrey's Bay. Even after a GREAT lesson from a GREAT teacher, I couldn't surf.
