Wilderness Beach Hotel & Spa

... keys were confiscated immediately but nothing was going to stand between us and our impending pub-crawl so off we staggered, down the town’s considerable hills into what proved to be a very quiet Thursday night. Not even the emptiness of the pubs stopped us, we drank and walked and shouted and laughed....and drank some more. Soon, walking and talking and shouting and laughing became exercises that needed to be done individually, multi-tasking had ...

First of all, today is a little bit scary because it marks the last month of my teen years! L Today we started at the Cango Caves where we went on a tour that involved crawling in very tight and small places but I thought it was so much fun! The caves were really cool and in this one huge chamber they used to have concerts! But there was this one in particular the post box I think or maybe it was the devil's chimney I can’ ...

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 ...

... s kettővel mint Rómában, azaz szinte alapelvárás, hogy folyton ragyogó időnk legyen.

A Wilderness nemzeti park egyébként egy sóstó rendszer az óceánnal összeköttetésben, a tavak körül üdülőkkel, kempingekkel, nyaralóházakkal. Mintha egy egészen más országban járnánk, mint eddig. Megváltozott a táj, a házak, az emberek.

Szóval egy napra 2 óceán, plusz a tavak, kisebb eső és egy medence. Nem csoda, hogy este inkább bort ittunk, nem vizet.

Leanne and I took the Baz bus to a two street beach town called Wilderness. We stayed at the Beach House and we were not disappointed. This hostel offered the most incredible views of the ocean. Our bedroom had a massive porch with hammocks that overlooked the beach. Even the kitchen had a million dollar view. On the bus, we met this cool Aussie girl Cate. She was such a sweetheart and fit along with us perfectly. Every night, the owner cooks an incredible meal out of ...

... s huge and it dominates every vista of the city. It's a beautiful, ever changeable and sometimes sinister looking mountain. The trademark tablecloth of clouds is a joy to see as it hangs over the mountain - it was there the whole of our stay until the last day when it cleared and we managed to take a ride to the summit on the cable car. For the rest of the time it is a living, swirling ...

I remember her visit from America very clearly. I was 9 at the time, and I hadn't seen my Nana in forever. I was so excited. When she came out of the airport, I practically jumped on her!! Right after she arrived, we went to go see my second cousins, Kirsten and Megan, where they were ...

... walls and no sex shop at all. Anyway we had a quick drink and carried on our way. After travelling through the Karoo we headed back down to the coast and into the 'Garden Route' Proper. We headed for a place called Wilderness, lovely and green and right on the coast, very picturesque place. We found a lovely camp site called the Fairy Knowe on Dumbleton Road ...

... with the weather. In fact after one hour of glorious sunshine, it then proceeded to rain for 60 hours straight which turned the whole place into a mud bath-cum-swap, which was unfortunate for me as I was staying in "the Wooden Dorm" aka "the Shed" and had failed to bring my wellies with me...Fortunately I was saved from a muddy death by a combination of the medicinal power of Jagerbombs (red bull and Jagermeister, if you're interested) and the comfort of the ...

... corner in a grassy part, a young deer was only mere metres ahead of her on the path. The deer looked up at Tamalyn, and continued to slowly stroll over to a patch of short shrubs. We were able to take about six or seven pictures before we knew we had to get going to keep our pace. After hiking for roughly an hour and twenty minutes, we arrived at our final destination - two small sets of waterfalls. We were able to climb up some boulders to the top level of the lower water falls ...
