On Sunday I left Buffalo Bay and went on the bus along the coast to a place called Knysna ("nice-na"). Really laidback hostel which was nice, met some cool germans and got a group of 7 of us together to go canoeing the next day, canoed up a river for about 4 hours and stopped halfway for a swim, was good fun, in the evening we made a big spaghetti carbonara which was really good. I stayed there in Knysna for 2 nights then went with 2 of the germans onto the next place called Plettenburg Bay which was beautiful. We did a 6 hour hike around the Robberg Peninsula which was pretty tiring! But got to see seals, dolphins and lots of different birds. On Thursday we left Plett and I came to a place called Stormsriver and the germans got off at the stop before me. Met two really nice girls called Hannah and Jo and we stayed in a really cool hostel in the middle of the forest here for the past 2 nights. I am about to go for a walk in the village but have just been chilling out in a hammock this morning reading a
