Day 12 of tour - Featherbed Nature Preserve

Knysa is a beautiful little town with a beautiful view of a lagoon protected from the Indian Ocean by two giant sandstone cliffs.  We took a ferry across the lagoon, getting a close up look at the sandstone cliffs as we crossed and then rode a trailer up to the top of the cliffs for magnificent views of the water below.  Some hiked back down, and we all had a wonderful buffet lunch under the milk wood trees.  We are now starting to see the natural beauty of South Africa.

We experienced a rare hail storm this afternoon, luckily from our cozy hotel room.  After the hail storm, a rainbow appeared in the sky.  This evening we braved the cold and windy weather to join some fellow travelers for dinner at the waterfront.
