Award winning travel writers Chris Marais and Julienne du Toit pack their trusty bakkie and drive the entire length of South Africa's shores, from Alexander Bay in the west to Kosi Bay in the east, meeting the weird and the wonderful, the criminal and the crazy elements of seaside South Africa en route.

Together, they have producted 6 books: A Drink of Dry Land, Namibia Space, Coast to Coast, Shorelines - A Journey along South Africa's Coast, Karoo Keepsakes I and II. They have just launched their e-Bookstore on www.karoospace.co.za with a series of 6 Karoo-based books.
