In December, 12 of us volunteers and our project manager, Andre and his wife, Lindsay, decided to go on a road trip once school was out. So we rented a large van and headed out...
....we saw this lion at a wild life ranch and saw the Cango Caves in Oudtshoorn....
...then headed to Knysna and checked out the lagoon... and the Big Tree (its BIG! =:)
....then we laid on the beach in Plettenberg Bay (also went to beaches in Jeffrey's Bay & Durban)
then on to Port Elizabeth where we went to the Addo Elephant Park...here's me with the ellies!
In Durban we also went to UShaka! Which is part Sea World, part water park, part mall...the water slides were a great way to beat the heat - it was very HOT in Durban!! Then we made the long trip home....took two days, driving about 11 hours a day...
here's a pic of the whole group, minus Helen, who took the pic! We were home in time for Christmas but during the trip my wallet and cell phone were stolen so I wasn't so much in a festive mood.... pretty much stayed at home and took it easy.... saved what little cash I had....

Sounds like you guys had a great trip a pity you had to drive for 11 hours a day. I must recommend a great place to stay in Plettenberg Bay. It is hidden in the forest area of Plett called Starling Village Backpackers, it is like a small farm with horses, chickens, cats and a very cool dog called chongalong, who loves to play ball. The people themselves are really amazing and your price includes a very cool and big breakfast. O and by the way if you let them know that you are a volunteer you get a 20% discount. Very cool
