We drove all the way (probably about a 6 hour drive) from Warner beach to Coffee Bay. The Wild Coast, also know as the Transkei, is the home of the very lovely Xhosa people. They live in round mud houses with cylindrical thatched roofs. The area is as wild as the name suggests, and very very beautiful, with the rolling hills, jagged cliffs and deserted beaches. It is perhaps one of the most beautiful coastal areas I have been to! It was an independent state just 10 years ago and it is still very untouched.

We stayed at a place called Bomvu Paradise in Coffee Bay. Charlie called it Hippie Club Med. We loved it. We surfed (well, Charlie did, i laid on the beach and braved the cold water for some swimming), hiked along the jagged cliffs and beachs, toured the village, learned to play the drums, had delicious meals, and hung out with some great people. We spent 4 relaxing and fun days there, not sure why we left!

Now we're in the legendary Jeffery's Bay (where 'Endless Summer' was filmed). The waves are quite nice but it's damn cold. Charlie caught a good one this morning but it's tough out there competing for waves with the pros. I am trying to convince myself to don a wetsuit and get out there, we'll see what happens.

Not sure how many days we'll spend here, but our next stop is Wilderness, on the Garden Route, and then onto Cape Town, our final destination. Charlie's right, we definitely don't have enough time here. Ooh, it's time to head off to a braii (bbq) at our friend Peter's (an amazing drummer!) place.
