After watching the British and Irish Lions rugby team play against the Western Province team in Cape Town, we hired a car and began driving the Garden Route to Durban. During the morning of our second day of driving we crossed a bridge and spotted a sign saying Bloukrans Bungee jump. As with most travellers [...]

Fox Glacier is one of the most picturesque natural wonders that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. The mountains that surround it include Mount Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand. The snow-covered mountains, the clouds that hover beneath its summit, the clear blue sky, all make for a beautiful view. You really [...]
