End of trip



I hopefully will be allowed into this little lighthouse tomorrow. I'm still shacked up at the backpackers here in East London. There was a beautiful rainbow here earlier so took a snap of it. I may head back to Durban tomorrow...........I will avoid ALL gravel roads.

East London


I have left the mud and animals in the road and am in East London. I did get to see the lighthouse but will only be allowed into it on Monday. Then to decide where to from here!!!! Any ideas??? The wind is picking up here and it looks like rain again. Her you can see the wreck at E London and the blowhole at Port St Johns and evidence of the mud and cattle on the roads.

Mud and more Mud

Today was not fun. I left Port St Johns at 7.I went to take photos of the Hole in the wall and Coffee Bay.Then came the problems.Mud and more mud........I got bogged down and was prepared to stay on the side of the road till tomorrow.4 drunks from a local tavern were bugging me and then helped me to get out of the mud. However they all had their muddy feet in my car and I battled to get rid of them. I am now at the M'bashe lighthouse. I will sleep in my car and feel safe here. I hope to get some photographs in the morning. Tomorrow the challenge will be navigating the road out of here. Hold thumbs and pray that the rain will stop. Sleep well.

Second day of my trip

Today I visited Cape Hermes lighthouse in Port St Johns. Tomorrow I will travel to Coffee Bay, Hole in the Wall and see the next lighthouse. The plan is then to get to Kei Mouth and the Cape Morgan Lighthouse and a bit of a beach hike before moving on to last lighthouse in East London. Its' raining again.!!!!!
