South Africa 2002 Day 10 Tsitsikamma - Knysna

Finally we left the coldest place on earth and head towarsd Knysna, which is a really scenic place where a lot of the well to do live. It is an estuary, with ria and marshlands. But before that, it's to satisfy the people with a death wish. We're going to the world's highest bungee jump. for a teaser we stopped at the bridge that's not even close to the one at the bungee. The bridge that they were jumping from is 216m. Madness!!! I mean to pay as much as R550 for a 7 secs trill, that's lile .... you fill in the blanks. In the end, there's 13 of us who did the jump. For the rest, it was a boring process waiting for them to take their turn. It's like for a minute of action, there's 20 mins of inaction...yawn....

After 3 hours, we're on our way again, all heads accounted for. En route, we are waahing and ohhing all the way. The view, the geographical features, it's a real feast for the eyes, even after seeing so many beautiful scenery for the past few days. We als went to the Bar View Lookout, where we had to drive uo the Heads (2 gigantic roack formations standing sentinel over the ocean inlet leading to Knysna), where all the millionaires live.

One of the many fantastic views welcoming us on the way to Kynsna

And guess what, the place we are staying (Breton-on-the-sea) for he night is fantastic. Try imagining luxuray chalets with an ocean view. Fabulous. According to Derek, we're actually on a raised beach, which means it used to be a beach before the sea level drops because of ice age, thus, the rounded pebbles and sand around us. Dinner was in a pub where we had fresh oysters, pizzas, fish and Tbones.

After dinner was entertainment time, we gathered around the pool tables to watch some of us play pool. Then it's pool competition with SG vs SA. Chris and Song Guang vs Gerhard and Adrian. Losers had to sing a song. Well, the game was real fun to watch but the singing though, left mych to be desired. I never understood how Chris and Song Guang could mess up "Twinkle, twinkle little star" but they did. Gerhard and Adrian was no better. Their Afrikaan rap and butt twisting...erm...enough being said...Sookyi (had to sing since she was late today) did a nice number though and the evening ended with laughter and lots of belly aches...
