Wilderness

We left Franschhoek and headed west through some back roads to get to Wilderness along the Garden Route.  It was a beautiful drive.

Wilderness is a sleepy little beach town with a small downtown, beaches, and a river/estuary.

I liked Wilderness the best of any place along the Garden Route. It was laid back and non-touristy.  There were large beaches with plenty of room.

The water was freezing even though we were there right in the middle of their summer.

A few miles in the hills outside the city is this view of the "Map of Africa". The way the two rivers come together makes it look like the outline of Africa.
