We slept great in a tent on Jay’s lawn. Jay took us kloofing today! Kloofing is essentially jumping off of rocks into rivers. From his house, we hiked a bit and then were at the river. We kloofed off of a waterfall! It was spectacular. The water color has a brownish tint to it from the tannins of the fynbos, but it is perfectly clean. It was really cool to be taken to a local spot and get to do something most tourists don’t get to do.
|We had lunch in Wilderness with Jay and then we headed onward and Jay stayed home. Jay was a wonderful host. All of a sudden, we were on our own without a personal guide!
We drove to Knysna, where we were staying the next two nights, and checked into the hostel. The hostel was wonderful! We ended up having the dorm beds all to our ourselves for the most part. The receptionist was very helpful with giving us pointers for what to do. I had done quite a bit of research beforehand on things to do, but getting local advice is always the way to go.
We drove out to the Heads, which is the inlet area of the Knysna lagoons. The lookout views from the cliffs were stunning, and then the beach down below was gorgeous. After relaxing at the Heads, we went to have dinner at a restaurant called Tapas and Oysters since they were having half priced sushi night. So of course I ordered sushi, but I also really wanted to try an oyster so I got one.
We drove back to the hostel to park our car, and then we walked to the Knysna Waterfront to chill for a bit.
