There's No Place Like Home

After 30 hours of grueling airplane flights, not including the layover times in Amsterdam and New York, we're finally "home sweet home". Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute in South Africa but there is something to be said about the comfort of your own bed. It was a long trip and I was ready to come home... for now.

It was tough driving through this National Park hoping not to
accidentally run over one of these tortoises. 

Our "orphanage visit" slash "surf trip" was packed with fun and excitement. At the end of it all, we clocked in a total of 3,000km (that's 1,865 miles). Most of the mileage involved the journey from Cape Town to Jeffery's Bay Supertubes.

This stop, Arniston, was an hour out of the way from our destination
but the scenery was worth the drive.

Don't let the conservative appearance of our  rented (very) compact, silver Chevy Spark deceive you. This little vehicle took us through many miles, including rugged terrain that typically one would want a 4x4. Who said bigger is better?
