So many things to do in Wilderness area

A couple of years ago we arranged with John from Wilderness Express to take us to Fynboshoek Cheese Farm for lunch (its about 2 1/2 hours from Wilderness). John included a tour on the way to/from Fynboshoek which we really enjoyed; so this year we decided to use John again. Deb came with us, which made it fun for all of us especially as Deb didn’t have to worry about driving back after having wine and gin.

First stop Sedgefield: We have driven by Sedgefield many times on our way to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, but we never explored the town. Driving towards the beach we saw an eclectic collection of Mosaic Art. John explained, and we subsequently read, “All these unique pieces have been skillfully crafted by members of The Sedgefield Community Mosaic Project, a skills development and upliftment project which was launched back in 2008 by much-loved local NGO Masithandane (meaning “Let us love one another”).” John explained that many of these artists are now creating mosaic art for other communities.

John suggested that we try the pizza at PiliPili which we did the next day.

Next stop with John was Buffelsbaai which is between Sedgefield and Knysna. It is a vacation area for South Africans; John mentioned that homes are passed down through the generations so it is almost impossible to buy in Buffelsbaai (and if you could it would be very expensive even though the homes are not fancy). It is a popular swimming and surfing area. As with Sedgefield, there are many mosaics in Buffelsbaai.

Lunch at Fynboshoek Cheese Farm was so good – Larry thought it was even better than he remembered. The bread, cheeses, salad dressing, ice cream and dessert are all homemade and all of the salad ingredients are from Alje’s garden.

Final stop with John – Knysna Gin Bar.

Deb and Lauchlyn leave tomorrow so next post will include more photos from their last few days in Wilderness.
