It takes 4-5 days to complete this hiking route. After entering the gate of Tsitsikamma Park, drive about 37 kilometers to the park camp area, where tents, RVs, sea view cabins, and forest cabins are neatly arranged everywhere. Depending on the choice, the cost ranges from R100 to R600 per person.

Initially, Yunluo had planned to stay here for the convenience of sightseeing, but later he was attracted by the photos of Fernery and changed his mind. He did not regret this decision. In addition to the gentle canyon of Fernery, it was also because it had been raining yesterday afternoon, so he could not go hiking in the park, nor could he enjoy the sunset at the seaside.

Although it was sunny today, Nalan Shiqi had no interest in hiking. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo only stood on the coastal boardwalk to admire the magnificent Indian Ocean and listen to the sound of the surging waves. The coastline of only a hundred meters was enough to exude a breathtaking momentum. This magnificence could not be described in words, except for shock.

If you have enough time, you should arrange at least 2 days of accommodation in Tsitsikamma. Although I didn't get to know Tsitsikamma in depth, the beauty of the valley and the atmosphere of the Indian Ocean have been deeply engraved in my heart.

Not far away is a world-famous attraction - Bloukransbridge. This large-span arch bridge was built in February 1980 and was not completed until June 1983. The total length of the bridge is 451 meters and the center span is 272 meters.

Although it ranks among the top 10 span arch bridges in the world, what attracts people here is not the bridge itself, but the fact that in 1997, a sport that can rapidly increase the body's adrenaline was launched here - bungy jumping.

The world's first commercial bungee jumping spot was established in Kawaraubridge, New Zealand in 1988, with a height of 43 meters and has been developed for more than 20 years.

Currently, the highest bungee jumping point in the world is located at the Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge in the United States, which is 321 meters high; the second highest bungee jumping point is the Macau Tower, which is 233 meters high; the third highest bungee jumping point is the Verzasca Dam in Switzerland, which is 220 meters high; and the Bloukransbridge is fourth.

The height is 216 meters. I once talked about bungee jumping here with my friends. He said that every time he came here with his friends, most of the people who jumped were girls, and he didn't even have the courage to watch from the side. It has been Yunluo's heart to challenge his courage here for a long time.

But Nalan Shiqi refused to agree to it, and Yunluo was afraid that he would have a heart attack, so he just watched others jump. Among his friends, Yunluo was considered to be very brave, but he looked at the figures falling from the middle of the bridge.

I really admire them from the bottom of my heart. For Yunluo, the scary thing is not the height of the fall, but the countless rebounds after the fall, and the rebound rope is very, very long. This kind of ups and downs, back and forth swinging in the sky is really not something that everyone can bear.

"I wanted to go skydiving but didn't get to go. I wanted to go bungee jumping but didn't get to go," he muttered as he returned to the car. However, Xiao Zhou said he still had time to go to Plettenberg for a walk. Hearing this, he felt more cheerful again. Although this low-key town was in Yunluo's plan, after he got on the Garden Route.

Yunluo found that most of the driving time exceeded Yunluo's expectations, so he once planned to give up. Now he can take a look, even if it's just a visit. It can be regarded as fulfilling every point that Yunluo planned to reach.

The nearest airport to Tsitsikamma is in Geetown, but if you take a private plane, you can land in Plettenberg, 30 kilometers away from Tsitsikamma. When you come here, you will feel tranquility and peace, and even the sound of the waves is gentle.

After enjoying the sea breeze on the beach, we went to the town to look for cheap and good food. A not-so-obvious food stall caught Xiao Zhou's attention, and Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo chose a pizza shop. The pizza base and fillings here are prepared in advance, and there is only one flavor and size, 50 r/piece.

But I didn't expect the taste to be so special. The boss lady said that her pizza doesn't need a knife and fork, but needs to be rolled up by hand. Sure enough, after rolling it up and taking a bite, the cheese aroma mixed with the rich fillings and the thin and soft crust filled the mouth. A small bite can give you great satisfaction. Three people can share a pizza and still be full. Plus an iced drink and a pot of hot black tea.

A total of R85. Leaving Plettenberg, we continued to Gee. Yunluo is a person who easily dozes off when getting on the car, but during this trip, he sat in the car for such a long time that he hardly closed his eyes. The purity and nature along the way kept Yunluo's spirit in the best state at all times.

Of course, you must sit in the passenger seat to get the best experience. In Yunluo's mind, the most desirable place for self-driving travel is New Zealand, but South Africa is accidentally included in the itinerary. I would like to recommend the Garden Route to those who have good driving skills. A drive here will definitely not disappoint you.

Geetown is the most important transportation hub on the Garden Route. In addition to having an airport, it is also the birthplace of the South African steam train. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the rise of the logging industry drove the development of this area.

In 1776, the Dutch East India Company established a logging base here to provide resources for its shipbuilding industry, which accelerated the prosperity and development of the town. The town was officially established in 1811 and named after the then British King George III, so most of the people living in this town are descendants of the Dutch and British.

After putting away the luggage, we rushed to the Railway Museum. We drove to the gate and asked the security guard about the closing time. The security guard said 5 o'clock. Xiao Zhou put Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo in the deepest part of the outdoor exhibition area and walked out slowly. I thought I had plenty of time, so I kept taking pictures between several trains and even climbed onto one of them.

Take a look at the inside story of the old train. When we had enough fun, we ran to the door of the indoor area. A black woman stood there and pointed at the time on the door. It turned out that the indoor exhibition area closed at 4:30. Yunluo's watch said 4:25, but she didn't think she would let Yunluo go in for a 5-minute stroll, so she turned around and left obediently.

After getting in the car, Xiao Zhou took the initiative to take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to see the beach in George Town. Although they saw many beaches along the way, they only saw people surfing at Victoria Beach here.

What Yunluo admired was not the scenery here, but the strong family atmosphere permeating this small public beach. Looking around, almost all of them were families outing, with adults and children having a lot of fun together.

There is a small grassy slope on the left side of the entrance, where several children are playing with water skis, climbing up and sliding down, with joy on their faces, and their laughter spread among the blue sky and green grass. Think about the life of children in Sihai City now, which is almost surrounded by steel and concrete. It is rare to go to the zoo or botanical garden and be drowned in the vast crowds.

This beach should be the last attraction for Nalanshiqi and Yunluo on the Garden Route. They will leave George tomorrow, which also marks the end of the Garden Route trip. Even though they are reluctant to leave, they have to turn it into anticipation, looking forward to revisiting the old place and looking forward to a deeper experience.

The "edenwoodhouse" where we stayed last night is owned by an elderly European couple. Annie and I booked a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-living room bungalow for R1500 per night, with no breakfast and free wifi. It can accommodate 6 people at the same time. It is highly recommended for families or more than 4 people traveling together.

The room is decorated with a homely feel. There is a large yard outside the living room, which is suitable for drinking tea and resting. There is a small yard outside the kitchen for drying clothes. The living room and kitchen are very spacious. The two king-size rooms each have an independent bathroom, and there is also a public bathroom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The only drawback was that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's room was too small, and even Yunluo's 30-inch suitcase couldn't fit in, so Yunluo could only sleep in the largest room - the living room - with her suitcase. The foreigner's sofa was too soft, and this was the worst night of sleep quality during the entire trip, but fortunately I felt pretty good after getting up.

It is only a 20-minute drive from "Edenwoodhouse" to the airport. A disabled sports event was being held on the way, but it did not affect traffic and we arrived at the airport smoothly.

While waiting in line for the baggage check, Xiao Zhou helped mail the third postcard of the trip, as a commemoration of the perfect end of the "Garden Route" section. After completing the formalities, Xiao Zhou accompanied Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo to the security checkpoint, shook hands, thanked them, and waved goodbye.

Although the terminal building of geeairport is not big, it is very clean and has a coffee bar, a canteen, and most importantly, a special area for children, which is very rare.

SAexpress is a subsidiary of SAairways that operates routes to small cities, similar to the relationship between Dragonair and Cathay Pacific, but the conditions of SAexpress cannot be compared with those of Dragonair.

The plane from Geetown to Johannesburg was a product of the 1980s - Dash8Q400, and the seats were still made of artificial leather. After takeoff, each person was given a bottle of mineral water and a small lunch box with sandwiches and snacks in it, which was not very rich.

The taste was OK. Tea and coffee were also provided. Yunluo and a travel expert both had the hobby of collecting airline vomit bags. This time, she specifically asked Yunluo to help her get a bag from SA. Unexpectedly, the bag was so unique that it didn't even have a logo or color. It was just a big plain board on the front and back. (To be continued...)
