From Jo'Burg to the Indian Ocean

I was knocked out of action for a few days last week - first we pulled a 10 hour drive from Jo'Burg to Graff-Reinet. I didn't get to see too much of Graff-Reinet, I came down with a little bug after the drive and spent most of the next 2 days sleeping. It was meant to be a bit of a slow down, but I barely made it out of bed. From what I did see, it was a pretty and charming town. The thing about South Africa though, with the exception of Cape Town, is that the towns aren't much of an attraction. The architecture and the city planning are not considerable reasons for visiting. The rugged landscape, the wild animals, the generous people. They're all great reasons. The cities and towns? I wouldn't recommend them on their own.
