After an epic week in Cape Town we faced a massive journey back to durbs. We drove for 2 days through the karoo, stopping off in some small karoo town. We did witnessed a stabbing, over dinner, nothing major, but it was i guess the highlight of the 2 day trip. The 2nd day started very early and we drove around the entire drakensburg and arrived at 10 pm in Donnybrook - Alex’s House. Mission.

Apart from the attitudes ,Cape Town was jammed packed full of highlights.We stayed with Pret, in a pretty central location, under the mountain. They have had some serious fires on the mountain that have left it blackened and denuded .Some guy had flick a cigarette out of his window while leaving the mountain, resulting in a massive fire and the death of a British woman.

Cape Town is a world class destination. From th beaches of Clifton and camps bay, to mountains behind it. There is too much to write about , so here are some of the highlights from our 7 days in CT.
