Hogsback - East London - Port Elizabeth

Baz stayed in Cintsa to do his own thing, and I went with Jon to Hogsback - the misty mountains said to have inspired the writing of The Lord of the Rings. Same was also said of Drakensburg but no one seems sure. Anyhow, a good day was spent here hiking with Jon through the forest to the five waterfalls - Swallow's Tail, Bridal Falls, Madonna and Child, Kettle Spout, and 39 Steps. We stayed in a hostel called Away with the Fairies. Very charming place, with the 3 Hogsback mountains in the background.

On the last day, we left Hogsback in the morning and arrived in Sugarshack in East London for a pick up by the BazBus in the evening. I spent the day roaming around East London and playing pool in the hostel. In the evening, we were dropped off at Base Camp in Port Elizabeth for the night before we moved on to Storms River.
