I am so in my happy place. We are on ‘holiday’ for a few days, staying in the beautiful Umgazi River Bungalows on the edge of the lagoon overlooking the sea. What a glorious view.
The trip here was an easy 340km. The journey started on the first straight road we had been on in a week, through beautiful farm lands.
We passed through Cedarville and Kokstad, a really nice town that is clean and neat and has lots of shops. We then took the R394 to Port St Johns. The countryside is lit up with with pastel painted houses, in hues of peach, blue, pink and turquoise.
We passed through Flagstaff, a not so clean town, full of street vendors, general dealers and taxis. Then onto Lusikisiki, a shame that this town is so run down as it there are some beautiful old mission buildings and churches that need lots of care. The roads from theses areas to the coast are curvy and potholed, with some really bad drivers, overtaking on blind corners. The drive down to Port St Johns was really beautiful, through the Natal bush forests.
We had a few obstacles on the road on the way in.
We arrived at Ungazi River Bungalows in time for the Sunday braai, which we ate on the deck overlooking the lagoon. We spent the afternoon reading and birding, constantly checking out the beautiful sea view.
Dinner was a 4 course meal. With delicious breakfast, lunch and dinners being catered for, I think we have a lot of swimming and walking to do over the next few days.
