Just an hour and a half from Durban, the South Coast offers a new world, one where palm trees dance in the air and the tranquil blue waters give you renewed energy.
As I drive pass the N2 southbound, I am excited about the drive. The sunshine hits my face and a light wind blows into my car. The humidity overwhelms me, but with a nice selection of songs to keep me company, I am content.
With just one toll near Port Shepstone, it allows you the freedom to enjoy the ride.
