Kynsna - South Africa


14th Oct 2014

In Kynsna we stayed in an attractive looking Victorian house perched up the hill which overlooked the Kynsna lagoon, We booked a dorm which is usually a bit of a lucky dip as to what the standards are like, whether you get any sleep is dependant on snoring Dorm Buddies! This one slept 6 people, we were the last two to check in... Let's just say our fellow travellers were less than tidy/considerate. But hey it's all part of the experience :)

  

On the evening of our arrival we treated ourselves to an Italian dinner at a restaurant down in the harbour area with a stunning view of the sunset and yachts moored in front of us - one of the best Italians and yet cheapest We've ever had. 



The following morning, after recovering from feeling sick due to the over indulgence at the Italian, we headed out to the harbour for Brekkie and to the shops to continue our mission to get Birthday presents for the fast approaching Birthdays of those back home. 


After failing miserably we rented a set of bicycles and rode around the lagoon and up the rather steep hill to the Kynsna heads viewpoint - A hard ride up; a fun ride down! 


The view from the heads was stunning, From the top of the left hand side cliff where the lagoon meets the sea.

After returning to the hostel and lounging around in the sun on the steps up to the lodge with the German couple and a very lovely Dachshund dog we made friends with, we were eventually collected by the baz bus again heading toward our next hostel in the Crags
