The next few days go by slowly with a lot of activity. There are decent rock pools a little further north and we spend hours walking and snorkeling through them.
Whichever beach destination you arrive in you will find yourself lounging on the white sands, potentially with a rum induced mix of liquid in one hand, and a palm tree nearby. Leaving is not an option
We are not the travellers who complain about potholes. I will however voice my respect for the potholes on the N7 and then later the N1. The potholes are so big that ten ton trucks go in and then come out of the other side of these potholes
Tofo is still our favourite place and even though we are usually explorers, we settle down to the relaxed beach life enjoying the scuba diving and surfing on tap at this explorer’s home.
