Departed Port Elizabeth, South Africa Tuesday night at 18:00 on an overnight bus for the second time in three nights. Arrived in Kokstad at 7:00 yesterday. Hitched 5k into town picked up by guy and woman who made a sign for me and stood on side of road in town for 25 minutes holding my sign that said NUD (trusting that it had relevance) and was picked up by a big truck and they drove me 100k to Underburg (found out NUD is short for Underburg???) where I splurged and took a cab the final 12k to Sani Backpackers Lodge in the mountains. I felt the mountains and solitude calling so I hiked the lock Nature Trail and went up the small mountain and was rewarded with these views:
