South Africa continues to surprise and delight! Today we drove over the Garden Route from East London to the town of George on the Western Cape. The landscape here is vastly different from the dusty hills and low brush we saw earlier in our trip. 

We were surrounded by lush green hills, flowering bushes, and even pine forests. We also saw orange groves and vineyards and stopped briefly to walk on the sand near the Indian Ocean. My favorite road sign instructed “Feeding Baboons Prohibited”!
