Although we didn't stay in Storms RIver, a small East Cape town and popular Garden Route pit stop, we spent the better part of one day exploring some of the best it has to offer.

First, Mike jumped off Bloukrans Bridge, Africa's highest bridge and the highest commercial bridge bungee jump in the world. Just a little something to get the blood pumping, right?

Then we hiked around Tsitsikamma National Park, checking out the coastline, lush indigenous forest, and suspension bridges at the river mouth. 

Fun fact: the water in the rivers in the Tsitsikamma region is a rich brown color due to high tannin content leached from the surrounding vegetation, earning it the nickname "Coca Cola Water." Yum? 

PS. to the couple from San Francisco who we met at Bloukrans Bungy, please email us! We lost your email address!
