Rather glorified by many tourists and more or less a great marketing gag
and therefore extremely touristic is the so called Garden Route along
the coast from Plettenberg Bay to Mossel Bay. It is nice there, no
question about that. Many beaches, many inexpensive hostels. Everywhere
restaurants, ATMs, shopping malls, bungalows and tour operators.
However, to me, it seemed, that with all these super touristic things,
somehow, Africa itself was lost on
the way.... Where was the typical African chaos, which is usually just
anywhere else on the continent? Where are the markets? Where the old
busses, filled with people, chicken and gouts? Okay, all that you do not
find very often in South Africa, but where are the black people?
Please, no misunderstanding - South Africa’s landscape is more than
beautiful, but it is not the Africa I got to know so far!
