Knysna – Keurboom Strand - 47 km
We left Knysna on a day marked by brilliant weather, though it came
with its challenges. Our journey out of the valley involved a steep
climb that required some effort. Thankfully, Amanda followed us in
the van, carrying our panniers. This allowed Ernest and me to focus
on the ride, making it a more enjoyable experience.
We had initially planned to camp at Keurbooms River but, upon
arrival, we found the prices had been raised. Disappointed but
undeterred, we decided to cycle towards Keurboom Strand instead.
One of the most memorable aspects of our journey was the kindness
of the people we met along the way. Many of them went out of their
way to make our trip more comfortable. Some offered to charge our
iPods, while others even provided us with food and accommodation.
It was heartening to see how welcoming and hospitable people could
be to complete strangers.
