2 weeks with Irene

Driving a car from Cape Town around South Africas wester coast via Port Elizabeth, East London and Pietermaritzburg to Johannesburg then further north via Pretoria into Kruger National Parkand and there-after south via Swasiland to Durban. Yes we did some kilometres but how else can you get a sence of what South Africa is like. To inhale it fully I will return and bring more time.
