Day 12 was mainly a travelling day with going back to Durban from where we took a flight to Port Elizabeth to take a coach to Storms River.
The weather was also poorly during the day even with a (brief) thunderstorm when we were at the Nelson Mandela Capture Site.
The Capture Site, where Mandela was caught in 1962, was actually the only thing we saw, interesting place though with a new main exhibition building currently being built I would love to see once finished. The temporary arrangement with the displays being in a kind of shed and feeling very overcrowded is absolutely not ideal even if very informative!
The best though was the sculpture a bit away from the exhibition. 50 steel poles which seem from the street rather random create when you stand at a specific angle and a certain distance the image of Nelson Mandela. Incredible.
We had an evening flight to Port Elizabeth and with it being delayed (though what a view sometimes as I sat at the window on the left so I had the coast below me -what a view! it compensated for that) we just got to our accommodation, the Tsitsikamma Village Inn, around 10pm.
Quick dinner before off to bed in our own little house (or part of it) as the hotel is built like a reconstructed Cape village with each building being in a different building style from the past. Mine was the The Drostdy, according to the hotel website it " resembles traditional building styles of the early Cape Colon" but I could only treasure that the next morning. All I wanted now was to sleep.... zzzzzzzzz
