Today was the first day of a week-long road trip with my housemates! My car included Evan, Phalgun, Olivia and Maddie. Phalgun and I were the two drivers.
A very nice South African friend of ours, Jay, took us under his wing for the first part of our trip. He drove us to the airport to pick up the rental car, and we were a caravan for the day. Jay lives in Wilderness and let us camp on his lawn. His parents did a braai for us that night and gave us breakfast too. His house is amazing with a great garden, swings, a dam, and a pottery house (his dad makes and sells pottery) with an overall hippie feel. His parents were really nice to take us.
Along the way to Jay’s house, we stopped and got little pies. I had a bobotie pie, a kind of curry with mince. When we got to Mossel Bay, the first town of the Garden Route and about four hours from Cape Town, we had fish n chips from a food truck right by the water. They were the most yummy and cheap fish n chips I have had yet!
Then we drove onward to Wilderness and stopped at a great lookout of the coast. After that, Jay took us to the beach and I swam in the Indian Ocean for the first time in my life! The water was pretty cold, as you have to go farther east (like Durban) for it to be warmer, but we still had a blast. Then Jay took us to his awesome home.
