Knysna- memories created and re-visited

... on the planet and it always feels good to return and show other people why I love it so much. Everything is so relaxed. Even with the hideous road works going ahead on the N2 everything and everybody still remains calm. If anger does flare, people simply glance out across the water at a sailing ship cruising between the Heads and all is forgiven in an instant.

If you want to have a real slice of heaven head out of town about ten minutes down the ...

Day 6: Onto Knysna

... was a full scale replica of his ship which had been sailed from Portugal in1988, exactly 500 years after the first landing. The rest of the museum focused on local marine life with cases upon case of displays of shells and sea life,reminiscent of the rather boring museums we used to visit in the 1960’s.

Another hour and lunch was in the quaintly names town of Wildernesson an upper balcony overlooking the road – a rather ...

If only for one night - very short entry

I spent all day on the Baz Bus from Cape Town to arrive in Knysa by late afternoon. I had heard that there was tons of stuff to do so I was looking forward to a fun Saturday night. How does the saying go? 'Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear." Well that was my experience in Knysa. On this particular Saturday night it was quite dead. That was quite suprising as Knysa is the most popular stop on the Garden Route. The Garden ...

Kirándulás Knysnába

Már megint egy hétfő reggel…

Az úti cél Knysna, egy lagúna partján fekvő nyaralóvároska, aminek a neve egybeforrt az osztrigatenyésztéssel. Látványos sziklakapuk (Knysna Heads) között áramlik be az óceán víze a lagúnába, amely helyenként hajózható mélységű, máshol viszont (apálykor?) száraz lábbal is besétálható. Be is sétáltunk, majd ezután felmentünk a keleti head-re, ahonnan az óceán és a lagúna felé is parádés kilátás égett bele a retin ...

Swelladamon át a Garden Route-ra

... sávig, azaz a híres Garden Route-ig. A szállásunk a Wilderness nemzeti park melletti Hoekwilben van, a hegyek között, tüdőszanatóriumi levegővel és panorámával, medencével, egy kedves holland tulajdonos házaspárral és két bankárosra hízott kutyájukkal.

Késői ebédre lekocsiztunk Wilderness Village-be, majd (az autópálya alatt!) kisétáltunk a homokfövenyen az óceánhoz, hogy talptesztet csináljunk: tényleg melegebb-e mint az Atlanti. Viszont – l ...

Beautiful Nature of the Garden Route

... treacherous since we were so close to the crashing waves, but we all managed. I was disappointed that the sun refused to shine during our hike, but that didn’t seem to reduce the appreciation and enjoyment of the group. Right when we finished the hike and started boarding the bus the sun emerged between the clouds and horizon, just minutes before it set. We were treated to a fleeting rainbow and gorgeous low-angle sunlight on the island. Unfortunately ...

Knysna

... I suppose it doesn't cost them anything to ask. But if anyone is counting on handouts from other people for their survival, then they need to seriously consider rethinking their survival strategy. 02 August - Knysna Woke up at 7:00 after a good night's sleep after what I thought was a very quiet, peaceful night - only to find out that chaos had reigned in the house last night. The rental car of a German couple staying at the hostel was broken into at about 3:30 in the ...

Nana's Arrival

... I remember we went swimming in the lake. I was the same age as Kirsten, and Megan was younger. I didn't have a swimsuit at the time, so I had to borrow one from them!! I was so embarresed that Megan was younger than me by quite a few years, yet I fit into one of her bathing suits.

Sailing to the Heads and learning about Tanzanite

... the Knysna heads. Between the 2 opposite rocky outcrops is where the Knysna River meets the Indian Ocean. To reach the mouth of the river by both, the water conditions have to be perfect because this is the most dangerous river mouth in the world. At high tide, water rushes into the estuary at a rate of 2000 cubic meters per second creating a horizontal waterfall. No fishing vessels are allowed to pass since 2003 because, in that year, there ...

Hey, Check Out the Line on the Map!

... including peace corps volunteers, college kids, retired couples, a mom and a daugher, and several families traveling with young children. So, never think that it is too late or the wrong time in life to do this...... We finally were ready to pick up our car a Saturday morning nine days after we arrived. Jeff was elected sole driver and had readied himself for driving on the left side of the road by doing mental drives through Cape Town as we walked through the city. We ...
