Protea Hotel Sea Point Knysna

... gaan walvissen spotten, maar ge voelt het al komen. De walvissen zagen ons niet zitten en zijn dan maar uit de baai gevlucht en dus geen boottocht. Wij teleurgesteld natuurlijk! Maar aangezien Victor net in slaap was gevallen hebben we dan maar onze tocht naar Knysna verder gezet. Het middageten bestond dus uit een banaan en zoo-koekskes, want op het moment dat iedereen wakker was, was McDo de enige oplossing en das een ...

... was just amazing on the way through. We travelled the inland route this time (rather than the coastal route on the way there). Massive rocky mountains, running down to the Olifants river in the valleys, citrus fruit orchards everwhere and the mountains would open up into farm land as far as the eye could see. We took pics and videos but they just don't do it justice. You'll have to come and see it for yourselves. We picked up the keys to the apartment and had another ...

... out in our make shift upper class seating space and knocked out. But only after we watched the Simpsons movie, of course. Anyway - back to Cape Town. We have a wonderful view of Table Mountain from our apartment balcony. As luck would have it, the weather was stable enough for the cable trolleys to allow site-seers to visit the summit. Woohoo! We knew we had to take advantage of this opportunity. Who knows if we'll ever get lucky with ...

... speakers on, best of Guns n Roses chosen on the play list and the chilli was well on it's way to stardom. Rach was reading so just before dishing up I popped out to the Bistro to ask for a candle, since it was the first time I had ever cooked for my wife. They awwwwed and then ran off to sort me out with not one but 4 candles (not fork handles from the two Ronnies). We then spent the evening in eating chilli and bread and all was good in the ...

... but v**y happy, we Tanzanians are a happy people." Yet he too wears a cell phone around the neck. Food, clothing, shelt** and a cellular network are the new minimum life requirements. V**y poor, but working hard to change that fact "You're an Am**ican? This is good, it is good to be an Am**ican. What is your work? Oh, an Engine**! This is v**y good, you see, I deal in min**als, and I need to know how I can export to Am**ica......" And proud, proud of the peace ...

... the safari, and with it being so hot, and being lathered in sunscreen and bug spray, and sweat, it was just definitely time to come back and clean up. The ride to the airport and the plane ride felt like forever though. And it was so uncomfortable. I was really happy to be back in my cabin and able to take a shower and know that I could sprawl out on my bed ant-free. I did have an awesome time on safari though. That evening we kept pretty low key. The next day Ellie ...

I do not recall at all what we did today. I was really not feeling to well. A number of members of my cousin's church are going out tomorrow to a Township at Kyleecha (sp) and while we are invited, neither of us are sure if we will go as she has a nasty sore throat and I am not sure just how I am doing either. Their church is a part of the parish in Kenilworth which, in 1993, suffered a violent attack ...

... dinner and drinks. Day 17 - Thursday 11 September 2003 Hired another car from Plettenberg Bay Hire Co (white car again) to drive to indigeneous forest - 30k inland from Kynsna. 6.5k Kerblans Hike through forest (boring) then drove onto Jubilee Creek for 3.6k hike to natural swimming pool - hike past old gold mining sites, easy and enjoyable. Back to K out to 'Heads' for sundowners and dinner at Paquita's at 'The Eastern Head' - oustanding location for ...
