Over the last two weeks I feel like I read an entire
chapter. I just returned from an amazing trip in the Western Cape, and I will
be attempting to record all of my recent adventures in my next few blogs.
Alex, Blair, Chida and I departed from St Francis on January
20th. We started our belated Christmas holiday in Tsistsikamma
National Park, only an hour or so away. We saw a very large and old tree (that
beat the one Chida and I had seen in Hogsback), and then did a lovely coastal
hike to a massive waterfall. We enjoyed a chilly and iron-rich swim beneath the waterfall before heading back. Unfortunately, we were directed to follow
a different path by a persistent Afrikaans man. This alternative route led us
up a steep ascending trail consisting of about 1000 stairs and spat us out at
the park entrance. FIVE KILOMETERS FROM WHERE WE WERE PARKED. After our painful
pavement promenade back to our vehicle, we vowed never again to listen to the
advice of obnoxious hikers.

That night, we feasted at a delicious Italian restaurant in Knysna, Café Mano. A few hours later we collapsed exhausted in our tent. Our adventure had begun!!
