Today (Thursday) we hiked again, this time on our own. We stayed in Ladysmith right before Plattenberg Bay in that wonderfully amazing lodge with njami breakfast and started pretty early for us (which we lost, because we took the key, so we had to turn back again). We wanted to hike in Robberg, the little half-island in Plettenberg. It’s a National Park and you have a chance to actually see white sharks there from the land! We didn’t see great whites, but we saw lots of lots of seals, huge crickets and chameleons! But Robberg is more a nature reservoir than something for animals. There are beaches, cliffs, water all around you and you see for miles and miles. It was as everyone told us: beautiful. We did see whales, as well, but that is actually not so spectacular from afar. You pretty much only see water splashing. But you can imagine the huge beasts underneath!

see it?
