Today, September 8th, we are at the beach at a campsite in Glentana, near\u00a0 Mosselbay. Since the last blog post, from Jeffrey’s\u00a0 Bay, we have driven westwards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I mentioned in my previous post that there was a halo to see around the sun but I had forgotten the pictures. Also a photo of the wagon that stood on the campsite in the Baviaanskloof with which almost 200 years ago people drove into the interior, with a pair of oxen in front of it. Fortunately, our camper is a bit bigger!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From Jeffrey’s Bay we drove on the N2 along the south coast of South Africa along the\u00a0 Tsitsikamma mountains. This is an important part of the so-called Garden route because there is a huge variety of trees and plants to see. This is due to the local climate with rainfall, fog and relatively high temperatures.<\/p>\n

There is also a very famous bridge near Bloukrans where you can do bungee jumping. I don’t want to think about it…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just after the toll gate we left the N2 to drive via Nature’s Valley to our campsite (Firefly\u00a0\u00a0 Rock). Again a beautiful campsite with an outdoor shower and large pitches. The first night we actually had a lot of rain and we spent the evening under the canopy watching a movie I had brought with me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next day we descended to the town of Nature’s Valley which is located on a beautiful lagoon with tropical rainforest everywhere and a beautiful beach with beautiful waves. It is a typical holiday resort but located in a kind of paradise. It is also the starting point of the\u00a0 Ottertrail, a hike of about 50 km along the coast towards Stormsrivier. A tough trip that takes about 5 days indicating that it is not an easy walk.<\/p>\n

There is also an easier and shorter path towards the Salt River and we took that. Here you walk straight through the rainforest in a humid atmosphere with a cool breeze from the sea. The ascent was not too bad (about 100 m) and in total it was about 6 km of walking (there and back). The pictures speak for themselves!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today we drove about 2 hours towards Mosselbay to visit a former colleague who has moved to South Africa with his family.\u00a0 He has big plans and it was very nice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tomorrow we stay here for a day doing nothing and Friday we will leave. We have since heard that the wood stove will be placed at Lisa’s mother next Thursday. Saturday there is a short service at the grave of her father where Lisa wants to be with and then we leave for Prince Albert in the Great Karoo.<\/p>\n
