Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and bungy jumping!!!

Four of us decided to travel to Knysna, a 5 hour drive from Cape Town, for the weekend and it was so awesome! I can't tell you how beautiful every place I have been in Africa has been and Knysna and Plettenberg Bay were no different! One of the main reasons we went was because the world's highest commercial bungy jump from bridge is 75 km from Knysna and 3 of us wanted to do it....it was sooooo crazy!!! Here's a pic of the bridge....I can't believe, looking back, that I did it! I had already made up my mind that I was doing it, so it wasn't hard to do it and I was glad that I went first!! The official measurement is that it's 216 metre jump! The first free-fall was scary, wild, insane!! Then you rebound back up and free-fall again, I enjoyed this one a little better because I knew the bungy was going to hold, then it feels like you are just hanging there waiting for the guy to come get you and take you back to the top....it was so cool and I'm so glad I did it....here's a pic of me as I left the ledge!

Then we went to Monkeyland and saw a few monkeys, the bungy jump was expensive by South Africa standards, so we decided to not pay for the tour at Monkeyland since there were 3 monkeys just walking around the main complex that you could go to for free!

Then we drove to Plettenberg Bay, had lunch, then headed down to the beach for a little while. It was so beautiful! Such a pretty little town! Here's a pic from the beach....

Then we went to the Knysna Elephant Park and paid to go in a feed the elephants and touch them. We got to have pictures taken with the elephants, so it was very cool! Check it out....

Then finally, we ended the day watching the sunset at The Heads in Knysna. Knysna is located in a bay that is almost completely enclosed by two land masses jutting out that are referred to as "The Heads". Again, it was absolutely beautiful!! Here's a pic of Knysna taken from one side of "The Heads".

Then on Sunday we took the long way back to Cape Town by way of Cape Agulhus, the southernmost point of Africa! We took the opportunity to have our pictures taken by the sign stating it's the southernmost point as well as the point where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. It was cold and windy on Sunday so we didn't stop long. It took 8 hours to get back to Cape Town and we were quite exhausted! It was a great weekend though!! I can't believe all of God's creation that I have been blessed to witness since I've gotten here to South Africa! If any of you have the means, come on down and visit, you won't be disappointed!!!
