Coffee Bay is a remote village situated on South Africa's "wild coast", about an hour's drive from Mthatha, and close to the "Hole in the Wall". Roads can be a bit worn leading one to need to drive on what's left of the road, rather than always on the left of the road!

At Coffee Bay she took the "world's cheapest surfing lesson", ate traditional Xhosa meals, visited a Sangoma and saw the Hole in the Wall (3 hour hike). Here's a couple of her photos:
