Supertubes J-Bay
We slept in our van here for the few days the waves were cooking like this...We had million dollar beachfront property at Supertubes. Imagine waking up to this. Needless to say I rubbed my eyes in disbelief too. Go ahead look closer til your nose hits the screen. Straight out of a surf mag.

Warthog's on the roadside
Probably saw 20 of these animals throughout our visit to Addo Elephant Park. They don't mind us, just keep chomping grass.

Oudtshoorn Ostrich farm
97% of the world's ostrich population come from this region and there are more ostriches than people here. They see 360 degrees and they can rip your heart out with one kick of their large TALLONS.

There is a lot of dirt and rocks above that could pinch me like a bug at this moment and this is the roomiest zone of the chimney crawl...

Cango Caves
This narrow crawl was called the chimney, and understandably so...The air was thin and extremely humid 5 kms deep in the earth's core. The adventure tour is a proper name for this climb. We barely fit and had to squeeze through and pull ourselves up. Fear of clausterphobia conquered...

Cango Caves
This is an absolute sight to see under the earth untouched by man completely created by nature. These structures are formed by groundwater dripping slowly drop by drop through the earth's surface making its way down after each rain. Then through the condensation they form upwardly until they connect.

Swellendam
We left E-Bay after the swell dropped off and headed east. We stopped in Swellendam and decided to take a hike up to the Langerberg Mountain range. We hiked what is called 10 o'clock the peak farthest to the right. The local farmer's use to tell time by the mountain range peaks and when the sun would hit them.

E-Bay
This wave is fast and long and there's huge kelp heads popping up in the water and shallow rock reef, with urchins, mussels, and heavy locals.

round two at E-Bay
The first trip to Elandsbaai we got skunked with a five day flat spell. So we had to go back and this is what we found. Overhead reeling waves for 200 yards. Pink about to get barreled in this picture.
