Easter Vac- Tsitsikamma/Storms River


Continuing to drive along the coast, our next stop was in an area near the Tsitsikamma (pronounced sit-sea-kamma) National Park and the small village of Storms River. The drive there was pretty cool, it got very mountainous and lush. This area has some of the highest rainfall in South Africa. We stopped at the Bloukrans River Bridge which is the highest bungee jump in the world at 708 feet. Two of our group participated but I chose NOT to. After the bridge we ended up in Storms River at our backpackers lodge. The following day we went zip lining through a forest a couple of hundred feet from the forest floor.

Cape St. Francis

On the way from JBay to our next stop, Storms River, we stopped in the small town of Cape St. Francis for lunch and we hung at the beach for a little. There was a cool lighthouse and some penguins.
