Tsitikamma Flyers

Luke and Carol pre flight, nerves just about under control

At the end of September 2006, during Luke's end of term holiday we went up the Garden Route to the Tsitikamma forest and tried out a canopy tour. Canopy tours basically mean flying from one tree top to another along a steel wire. You are at times 40 meters from the ground, but all the veitation doesn't make you feel exposed. The slides, and there are 10 in all, vary in length, the longest being 91 meters, its also fair to say that some are faster than others.

Carol crosses a rope bridge half way through the trip...no one told us about this at the start!

Carol ahngs on for her life at every opportunity

Last but one slide, hey hang on we are starting to like this

Our accommodation in the heart of the forrest, this was the honeymoon cottage which came complete with a bed seattee in the living room and a cot in the bedroom. What sort of honeymooners do they get around here?

After our adventure we spent the next day recovering and looking around Knysna and in particular the Heads, which is an inlet from the sea into the Knysna lagoon. When we were there it was very rough seas and we were amazed to see a sailing catamaran makingits way out through the heads into the open sea.

We liked Knysna, we liked it so much we opened a restaurant there.

In Tsitikamma you will also find the worlds highest bungy jump, here is a shot of the bridge off which you bungy.
