Day 5: Knysna

Hannah woke up feeling ill this morning and seems to have a 24 hour stomach bug. Fortunately we had planned to have a fairly relaxed day around the area anyway, so she picked a good time for it! While Hannah stayed in bed, Shammy and I decided to retrace our route slightly and go back to Knysna which is 30km west of Plettenberg Bay.

Firstly we drove to the Knysna Heads, between which the estuary of the Knysna River opens out into the ocean. It is well known for having the most striking geological features along the whole South African coastline, but also some of the most treacherous waters. We spent quite a bit of time walking around the rocks on the eastern head and taking a lot of photos from various view points! Next we found a local craft fair which we’d only planned to visit very briefly. However we ended up there for over an hour looking around the various stalls and negotiating over prices. The sellers were very persuasive so it was extremely difficult to walk away from the stalls without buying anything.

After stopping for a pub lunch at the Knysna Arms, we walked around the town centre for a while. Like many of the towns we have visited so far, there is a stark and quite shocking contrast between the wealthy and poorer areas of town, with just a few hundred metres between the two.

Fortunately Hannah was starting to feel better by the evening but we decided to stay viagra england in for some Chinese takeaway and a few glasses of wine on the outdoor deck at our lodge.

    Hi Howie,
    Thanks for the photos which are stunning. So sorry about Hannah and hope she will be alright to continue on tomorrow – which I suppose is today! The craft shops look very interesting.
    It continues to be very cold here – minus 2 degrees this morning but I gather minus 6 in Croxley Green!
    I hope that you and Shammy don’t pick up the bug.
    Lots of love Mum xx
