Friday Flashback: The Eastern Cape

Horseback riding in Storms River
Horseback riding in Storms River

As I headed further east along South Africa's coastline, I couldn't stop myself from spending at least a night or two in several popular resort towns, including Kysna, Plettenberg Bay, and Jeffrey's Bay.  Like my experience in Australia, South Africa was starting to seem like one long beach town.

  • Enjoying the Island Vibe in Knysna
  • My Time With the Rastas (my homestay with a Rastafarian)
  • Plettenberg Bay
  • A Day In Storms River (horseback riding)
  • Sandboarding
  • The Island Vibe, Supertubes, and Surf Shops (hanging out in Jeffrey's Bay, a mecca for world class surfing)

  • G Adventures for small group tours
