Vergelegen Wine farm

 This place was built in the 1690's.

It was owned by Willem van der Stel, the third governor of the cape.


Mom enjoyed it, I thought it was okay, but I couldn't wait to go swimming when we got back home!!!
It was so hot that I was jealous of the cat who got to sleep in the shade, I wished I could fit in there too!!!

The Picnic lunch we had at Boschendal!

In these photos we are in Cape Town with my Aunt, Uncle, and my cousins, Ethan and Emma!

  Our picnic lunch was so yummy!!!
This is the old farm house at Boschendal.


Thesen Island, Knysna!

Paddle-boarding with some of my friends.
It was SO,SO fun!!!!
We kept falling off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then we swam in their pool.

Brenton-on-sea beach!

 This Beach is called Brenton-on-sea, its one of the beaches in Knysna. You could walk for miles!
 These are our friends that we stayed with.
This is their dog, Chloe, she was SO cute!!










The only bad thing about the beach was all the jelly-fishes.

The Knysna Heads

On the 1st of February, we did a tramp through the Knysna Heads Nature reserve.


As you can see from the pictures, the scenery was amazingly beautiful!!!

There were BIG caves where the waves had worn away some of the rock.
The black stuff on the sand is Kelp.
This is where the Knysna Lagoon meets the sea!

Tsitsikamma Canopy Tours









                                     
                                     This was a thrilling experience!!!!!!!!!
                                     We slid on a zip-line, sometimes 30 meters above the ground!
                                     We went on 10 slides to 10 platforms high up in giant trees!! 
                                     I LOVED it!!! Even Mom enjoyed it!!!

Sand-boarding!


Hello, and welcome to my blog. 
I hope everyone had a good holiday, 
and I also hope you enjoy reading my blog!

On the 22nd of January we went sand-boarding on this giant sand dune!
I went the farthest, it was really fun on the way down, but i didn't like the walk back up one little bit! 
[Just remember New Zealand is 11 hours ahead so that's why the photo says the 23rd]
