Well that week flew by!!!!!!!
Making our way east we left Hermanus which was more like a sleepy English town the complete opposite to the bustling, noisy and energetic Cape Town. We both felt the force of the South African sun whilst in Hermanus, leaving the beach looking like two juicy lobsters and suffering then for the next couple of days. Will we never learn??!!!
We arrived in Swellendam and had our first attempt at some camping. Our two man tent was easy to erect but was not easy to sleep in with back packs as well. Swellendam was a quiet town as well and we tried to find things to do that did not involve forking out on expensive trips. So drinking seems to be a good way to pass the day and at just over a pound a pint in most places it seems to be the most sensible thing to do sometimes. Even Ali gets her double Malibu and diet coke for half of what she would pay in the UK.
Hopped back on the Baz bus, which reminds us of the bus the characters from Scooby Doo travelled in, and headed towards Mossel Bay. A two hour trip that goes so quickly because there always seems to be so much to see, ie. continuous stretch of mountains, incredibly coloured houses and you are never too far away from a sandy beech.

We were beginning to think that you were lost. I am pleased to hear that you are enjoying the sunshine, even if too much. Blogs a little more often would be nice. When do you move to Australia? All is well this side of the world, threanening snow, sleet, cold & wind. Are you fed up with continuous sunshine yet?
