Heading East along the Indian Ocean

Waves at Wilderness

After Oudtshoorne, we traveled to Knysna for two nights, and then to Plettenburg Bay for one night.  The kids greatly enjoyed the waves, and tried their hand at body surfing.  The science lesson was quickly learned about the higher the wave, the shallower the trough, as the boys had a couple of headslams into shallow water from up high.  We then travelled to down the N2, stopped at the worlds highest commercial bungee jump at 260 m high.  I decided I have nothing more to prove, and Levi was willing but too young.  Not sure how willing after seeing the depth of the gorge.  Addo Elephant park was our final destination, and after travelling through some fairly rough looking

Boukarous Bridge

townships and shanty towns, arrived at our destination.  Friday morning we headed into the park.  We were starting to get worried that all we were going to see was elephant (massive) droppings, but 90 minutes into our drive we finally came across 10 elephants at the watering hole.  Very entertaining.  In knocking off the big five of African game, we saw elephant and cape buffalo today.  Thought we sighted some rhinosaurus', but could not get a close up.  Will try later this afternoon.
