Friday the 17th of February. This was not only the last day of the Garden Route but it was also the last day of Julia’s and Kadi’s stay here in South Africa unfortunately. We decided to go running around 8 ‘o clock. It was really nice, it wasn’t too hot and the view was beautiful. We were surrounded by mountains and grazing cows. Afterwards, we had breakfast, scrambled eggs with bacon and toast again. We packed our bags, cleared out the lodges and left to go to Hermanus. At Hermanus we had 2 hours and 45 minutes to walk around. Hermanus is known for whale watching but unfortunately there are not many whales around this time of the year. We actually didn’t see any whales, the best time to go is around September. We went to an African market where we bought souvenirs for ourselves and our friends and family. 2 hours and 45 minutes is way too long and we just ended up sitting on the rocks at the sea. It was very windy and unsurprisingly, Yiyo’s (from Chili) blew off, into the sea. It was his favourite hat and was very upset. He walked down to the see and stood on the rocks, the waves crashing on the sides and splashing up to him. Even though he was very perseverant and stood there for fifteen minutes, he didn’t manage to get his cap back. It was almost time and we decided to walk back to the van. In the van, everyone finished their sweets and snacks and wrote some notes for Kadi and Julia. We arrived at bishops at 5 ‘o clock and the Garden Route was over.
It had been an amazing five days and it was a really good way to get to know each other better. Even though we spend most of the time in the bus, I really enjoyed myself and did some great things like the bungee jump. Luckily this is not our last trip and I am looking forward to the Cederberg Camp!
