15 November 2010 - Travelling day - Buenos Aires to El Calafate

·        Flight to Patagonia – minus my backpack which went to Iguazu
·        El Calafate our base for the next few days

14 November 2010 - Buenos Aires

·        Flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina
·        Managed to catch the last hour of the SanTelmo Sunday afternoon market before downing some quality Argentine beers and empanadas


13 November 2010 - Travelling day - Mossel Bay to Cape Town

·        Back to Cape Town ahead of flight to Buenos Aires

12 November 2010 - Mossel Bay

·        Mossel Bay was a bit dull
·        The highlight was the German B&B owners mullet - priceless 

11 November 2010 - Plettenberg Bay

·        Weather not great for a beach town so went horse riding



·        There were 3 dogs at the Stables – turns out one of them was half rotweiler half wolf!


10 November 2010 - Wilderness







·        Went to the Cango Caves and signed up for the adventure tour
·        Route included climbing through Lumbago Alley, Devil’s Ladder and finishing with the Postbox!


·        The scenery on the way to Wilderness was pretty spectacular - Wilderness is as the name suggests – pretty remote!


9 November 2010 - Oudsthoorn

·        Today’s stop was Oudsthoorn – inland town - 5 hours from Cape Town
·        Arrived quite late in the afternoon so it was a quick trip to the Cango Wildlife Ranch  - it was a good chance to see the lions and cheetahs up close but after seeing them in the wild you kind of feel sorry for them caged up all day
·        We also got a look at some baby cheetahs – too cool
