Kathy’s Travels

Well…. the baz was late and I let myself be convinced to stay “just one more night”…. now of course there is no space on tonights shuttle. But hopefully I can squeeze on to get to Cape Town….

Evening was great… with a lekker braai (good BBQ)…. and I set fire to my POI chains and played a little. My friend got some great shots of the fire reflecting off the pool….

Today I relaxed with some of the girls…. went into town…. had a swim in the pool and made some of my jewellery….

So the moral of the story is…. sometimes its better to stick to your plans… but then again sometimes good things come at unexpected times….

Well after Wildside, cute surfers and Buffalo Bay am now in a small town by the name of Sedgefield.

Sedgefield has sprouted along the N2 main highway that runs along the coastline. And in this tiny little place there is a wonderful new hostel called Upendi Backpackers. Upendi, meaning love in Swahili, is a double story thatch house about a 1min walk from the lagoon.

Upendi Backpackers: 8.5/10 Comfortable, clean, friendly. Close to the lagoon where you can go canoeing and search for the rare knysna sea horse. Or you can go to one of four beaches and surf, swim and tan. For the adventurers you can ask Sancheo, the owner, to organise a tandem paragliding flight or heck…. why not take a full course and get your pilots license. Sancheo will also teach you to POI….. or fire dance. I was playing with fire on the 2nd night of my study and haven’t burnt anything yet… so she must be a good teacher.
