Out and About

Posted byevelynnfunstonPosted inUncategorized

February 15-17: We rented a car (Volkswagen Polo) for 5 days – perfect little car for our “out and about” travels.

This blog will be mostly photos.

Beautiful viewpoint in the hills a short drive from our apartment. It is referred to as “The Map of Africa”
Picture taken from the paragliding launch spot across the road from the Map of Africa. Our Wilderness beach and the lagoon on the left. It was just starting to drizzle – our first rain in 10 days,
View of the beach taken from Views Hotel – there was a downpour shortly after taking this picture
Dinner at Joplins Steak Bar/restaurant. Steaks are cooked on an open wood fire grill – so tender and tasty – one of the best we have eaten. Our waiter’s comment – “we do steaks and chunky chips really well – and not much else”. That is so true as steaks is all they have, the restaurant is quirky, the service very layback – overall a fun, local place to eat.
Joplin’s outdoor dining under a tent and a fire to warm up (although it wasn’t cold). Prices are so reasonable – our dinner (a 200 gm filet + a 300 gm rib eye with chunky chips and small salad + half litre of wine = < $40 CAD). We marvel at how inexpensive wines and restaurants are in SA.
Sunset from our balcony
Leisurely drive to Knysna (40 min. from Wilderness) and lunch on the patio at Easy Head.
Very refreshing Mojito. Great views

    1. The views are amazing and we have been blessed with sunny days, with just a few showers late one day and heavy showers one evening (we like the rain while we sleep). Wilderness is a small village, so perfect for us. Thanks for your comments Arvina.
