Grootboos Private Nature Reserve
Paradise Found
A five hour drive out of Knysna down the remainder of the N2 Garden Route took us through miles of golden fields dotted with neatly stacked, circular hay bales protected by mountain ranges.
It struck us that the drive after the end of the Garden Route was actually much more scenic, despite all the hype.
Our arrival at Grootboos Private Nature Reserve was the highlight of the day. This was Paradise found!
Kanglip Beach Caves
We took a guided tour to the Kanglip Beach Caves in the afternoon, followed by a 4×4 drive down to Walker Bay for sundowners.
Sunset on Walker Bay
Even in Paradise it Rains Sometimes
A storm brewed up in the afternoon of the following day and we walked the length of Walker Bay, sliding a long way down sand dunes to get onto it (no 4×4 to take us there today). The climb back up was VERY slow, one foot forward, two slides back – hard work!
Glad I Packed
Extra Strong Mints – it was a long drive today.
Foodie Firsts
Ostrich Fillet – Cut into thin strips and cooked rare. Delicious – very lean.
