Hogsback to Jeffreys Bay – Thu 11 July

A great breakfast, a quick walk in the 39 steps arboretum park and we headed off down the mountain toward Alice then onto Cookhouse were we fuelled up again and passing by Port Elizabeth arriving Jeffreys Bay about 3pm. It was more fast straight roads where we saw Ostrich inn the paddocks and a very pretty red plant called Aloe, which I think is related to our Aloe Vera. We finally found the iconic surf spot where they were on the final stages of the Billabong Pro Surf Comp. As we were driving in we saw Occy driving out. He was eliminated earlier that day. We found a beautiful Guesthouse right on the beach just up the road from all the action. It was a real find. Being a guesthouse, they had this beautiful lounge and self serve bar upstairs overlooking the beach, it was a nice way to finish a day on the road. The manager organised a so called Taxi to take us to dinner at a seafood restaurant called Kitchen Windows which was right on the beach. The cab ended up being a clapped out early model Datsun with a very friendly and talkative Armenian surfer. The food was fantastic washed down with a local wine. Dinner over and the taxi was summoned and off we went back home in the same wild and funny way.
