Day 22 - 23

Plettenberg Bay
Lodge at the 'Fernery' in the forest of Tsitsikamma 

These baths have stunning views!


View from room
Storms river mouth

One of two suspension bridges crossing the mouth




En route - Hike to the 'Look out'

The 'Look out' Well worth the 100+ steps to reach it!
Did wonder why no one else was up there!




Took a kayak trip/lilos up the rivers mouth! Great experience and fun, were followed
by dolphins alongside the kayaks. Amazing!!
'Knaisha' the other half of my two man kayak!
Must confess he did hardly any rowing and
kept shouting Chelsea, Chelsea!! Very annoying! Lol


Bloukrans bridge - The highest bridge bungy in the world! Pass!!!



Day 20 - 21

On route to Sedgefield on the N2 east came across
this, must have been at least 100 up the coast!

The seaside town of Sedgefield

Sedgefield - Very unspoilt beach

 Came across this fella when driving around
having a nose at the properties!

Knysna

Waterfront at Knysna

'Pezula' golf club. My first game in three weeks!
Game was awful! Course was stunning overlooking the coast.

The Knysna Log - Inn, my home for two nights
