Knysnaand Robberg
A viewpoint and a tasty lunch in Knysna, a short hike on the Robberg peninsula, a seal colony from a distance and a cave where people lived for thousands of years.
The ninth chapter of the South Africa trip. From Wilderness we continued east along the Garden Route, through Knysna to Plettenberg Bay, which everyone here simply calls Plett.
Knysna
In Knysna we stopped at a viewpoint and had lunch in a café. I’m sorry to say I don’t remember its name. But everything was delicious.
A hike in Robberg
In Plett we went straight on a short hike in Robberg Nature Reserve, a rocky peninsula that juts into the ocean. There are several trails of different lengths. We chose the shortest: sadly, we didn’t have time for the long one.
From the trail you can see a seal colony and watch them from a distance. But I went to the seals the next day, underwater.
Nelson Bay Cave
On the way you can go down into Nelson Bay Cave. Inside there’s a little house with an exhibition. A cross-section of the ground has been made there, and behind glass you can see layers with stone tools: people lived in this cave for a very long time, and the deeper the layer, the older the tools. The oldest finds here are tens of thousands of years old.
