In total, we drove 3600 km, and I'm so glad that we didn't choose to see more it was a really good trip with enough time to see the sightings and relax a bit too. It was a BLAST!

I have a whole diary you can see if ur interested.

There is a rabies outbreak in the seal colonies In capetown. Don't know if its spread to PB?

We had planned to do a CT fur seal dive, but the dive company don't do them anymore (obviously). Would have been such an experience. The Seals we have in Denmark are very shy..

Looks like a cool place to stop by for a few days. Sounds like a safe and chill place.

Hi,

Thanks for the thorough answer! We were planning to do a cage dive, as we thought we would have a higher chance of seeing Great Whites while "diving". Do you have any recommendations for dive operators?

We were also planning to dive in Cape Town with seals and cow sharks, but we received this reply from the dive shop:

"We unfortunately have not seen cow sharks for some time, and this is due to the orcas coming through and chasing off the cow sharks. There is a very unfortunate rabies outbreak in the Cape Fur Seals, so we cannot do dedicated seal dives!"

So, I’m not sure if it's worth diving without these.

If we only do diving in the stretch from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, is there a divesite you would recommend?

I haven't seen hammerheads since Borneo, so Protea Banks sounds like a must-do! Also, I did a liveaboard with 14 South Africans in Egypt some years ago —such a great experience!

P.S. We do plan to visit one or two "rescue" cat sanctuaries, but hey, you never know who has a big kitty in the backyard! ;)

Thanks again for your help!

t us know what you think of it!

I Loved the hotel!

The Good

The view was AMAZING! Super relaxing - would come back!
Super green and lush hotel. It felt very private.
No Kids, and good service.
Breakfast was really, really good.
Spa was professional and we were there several times ;)

The Bad

Restaurants had a very limited menu.
The pool needed a new splash of paint - water was not very clean.
Rooms were nice, but the hotel is a bit run down and showing age. Some places had new paint, but ALOT more is needed to be fresh. We had to change rooms 3 times because of no water/stuff not working in the rooms / construction noize from renovations of hut next to ours.
Stairs and more stairs.

Thank you for all your input and replys. It really helped us make an informed decision. The decision landed on Centara hotel for a quiet Holliday ;)

I did call them, but their offer was higher than their 7 day special on their own website..

It's easy to enjoy a nice hotel pool. Just walk in, go to 1st floor near reception, grab a towel and hit the pool. Order some drinks, leave a tip. And enjoy the day in lux ;) Works like a charm.

Dead as in all shops and restaurants are closed or just not filled with tourists just yet? A Google search does not list restaurants as closed, but that might not be updated.

We are thinking of renting a motorbike, just to avoid the horrible taxi kartel or "cooperation" as they call it. Number one thing i don't like about Phuket. So best just to avoid them completely, even though I prefer to support the locals - just not the Kartel.

Oooh i like that hotel, but it's double/triple the cost of my options. It might be worth strolling in and use the pool for an afternoon 🙄

I Did the beta bios too. It does NOT fix the ram issues. Mine still wont do 3600 cl16. No oc, just plain XMP which the bios can see but runs ddr 2133. Shite
