In a nutshell, we decided when we arrived at Storms River to stay 1 night and leave the next day rather than 3 as we couldn't rent a car from there and so we wouldn't be able to fill the time.
We got a lovely luxurious double room for a bargain because the people who were supposed to have it didn't turn up, and the next morning, we went on a canopy tour with a load of ziplines, then horseriding up into the mountains in the afrernoon, where we got to a rockpool filled with what looked like cold tea from all of the tannins in the bark and trees around which colours the river water, but is good to drink. Looked a bit spooky under the water, but was lovely.
That night we got the Baz Bus to Jefferys Bay, which is a huge surf town.
Our first day in what's known locally as J'Bay was lazy and spent looking around the town and getting some food in.
Today, I "learned to surf" in the loosest form in that a capable bloke showed me, then I fell off the board and made every effort to choke, drown and knock myself out.
Then this afternoon we went to the lion sanctuary, which turned out to actually be a bit of a game reserve, with lions, tigers, giraffe, wildebeest, springbok, leopard, zebra, serval (like whippet sized scatty leopard), crocs, warthogs, meerkats, and on another area, a place where we played with 3 1/2 month old lions, and saw some 5 month old tigers!
That's the long and short of it for the moment to put the photos in perspective.
Will update fully when I can in either Chintsa or Coffee Bay.
