Wilderness
We spent the night at the beach in Wilderness. Crappy hotel. We ate at a fancy looking place but the food wasn’t that good. Our beach walk was the only positive here. Thank god we left the next morning.

Some people have lost their minds. I knew we were going to the world’s highest bungee jump (if you pay extra you can zip-line to the jump area under a bridge) but we had already discussed it. It took us a long time to find each other, we weren’t about to risk everything by jumping off a bridge. We were however fascinated by others who loved the thrill and we watched in disbelief.

Next we went to a national park to see and cross the suspension bridge that goes over Storm River. That was thrilling enough for us.

We ended the day in Port Elizabeth where we stayed at a tiny hotel that Marc didn’t want to leave. He wanted to move in–for good. We can’t recommend Manor 38 guest house highly enough. The people who were running it were so kind, so gracious, so hospitable, and the hotel was formidable. The food was amazing and when we told the hotel it was our honeymoon, she gave us a bottle of wine.
We asked for a dinner recommendation and were immediately told that Ginger is the place to go to. We were given a card and it had a picture of a martini glass, a pink drink and a slice of lime. Marc immediately said–your favorite. The lady said–ah, strawberry daiquiri and I didn’t correct her. When we got to Ginger (which was packed) and seated at our table, two strawberry daiquiris arrived at our table. ‘Compliments of your hotel…’ I have never been treated so well at any hotel before.
We finally got our final parcel sent home. Note that South Africa doesn’t have any packaging stuff at their postal outlets. We had a lot of things to send home. We went to Pick’n’Pay (really popular chain of grocery stores throughout SA), got a box from the loading dock, bought a box cutter and packaging tape from a hardware store and sent home a box with 10.5 kilos surface. Another 2.5 airmail parcel. We have really no idea what we have purchased in the past few months. It will be a surprise when we unpack our loot.
