Plett and Tsitsikamma

In Plett,we stayed on the lagoon,virtually on the beach sand. Opposite the seagull sanctuary island. We had a good time watching the seagulls in their natural environment. we rented a canoe and rowed across to the island where there are literally hundreds of seagulls and the sea is on the other side.
You can go pretty far down the river on canoe,and local fishermen row out early in the morning and back late at night piled into precarious looking tiny wooden boats with one or two oars.It is peaceful and relaxing,and i don't want to move!!!!

Definitely,positively go to Moby Dicks restaurant on the main beach right opposite the sun international. I got 30 prawns for R50!!!delicious, big prawns, and a wicked view.ALSO,visit Robberg Fisheries just inside Pletts industrial area,get a huge fish for next to nothing,wrap it in foil and braai on wood coal for 2 hours...yum mmm!!!
This is also where you can book ocean trips like fishing, diving and dolphin and whale watching.
We visited Birds of Eden bird park, which is a massive aviary, comprising all the environments, wetlands, rainforest's etc, with all types of birds living together.It takes about an hour to walk through,and the birds are amazing, a few of them are quite friendly and bite, and some took a liking to Dave and all the German tourists thought we had brought our own bird with!!!!

But, just outside Plett is the Tsitsikamma forest and this is what we came for. We took the Tsitsikamma canopy tour and spent 3 hours rope swinging between the trees 30 m above the ground.
This was awesome, you get to see 600 year old ferns and stand on 300 year old Outeniqua yellow woods,and it's wicked fun too!!
Spent the night in the Tsitsikamma national park at storms river in a log cabin, with the sea in front of us and the mountains behind us,nestled in aforest.
It was beautiful and magical...and then I found a rather large hairy dangerous looking spider in the closest toilet!!
So, spent the rest of the night trekking to another loo every time,cause my efforts at beating the spider to death with a broom failed miserably when it ran at 120km/h towards me and i screamed to high hell and ran.
But otherwise, the jungle was nice.
We left early on the Sunday morning and stopped at the Bloukrans bridge complex for breakfast and then we took the flying fox, a 170m long foefie slide across the bottom of the bridge to the bungy site-the highest bungy in the world,and jumped off the damn bridge.
I will post the video on You Tube when i feel ready.Right now , all I feel is relief at not having died and i still cringe when i think of jumping 216 m off a bloody bridge into a gorge..AND THEN walking back on a rickety thin steel walkway to get back, which was worse than the jump itself!!!
what a way 2 start a Sunday and our drive 2 Jeffreys Bay....
NB:A NOTE ABOUT THE BIRD PHOTOS:I am not an avid bird watcher and so I just took pics of the prettiest birds,don't expect me to name them for u
