As we made our way to Wilderness from Plettenberg Bay, we stopped in Knysna for lunch. The town had some funk (cool funk not smelly funk) and the geography resembled the Oregon coast. We found a cute little place on Thesen island called Ile de Pain where I had the best butternut squash soup of my life.
In Wilderness, we stayed at a backpackers called Fairy Knowe. It was tucked away from the town in the forest so it was very peaceful but also very nature intensive, as in a giant tarantula in our room. Todd discovered it just as we were all getting ready for bed. All I could do was leave and start making plans to sleep in the car (I have a irrational but very real fear of spiders). After a lot of screaming and really odd dancing from Kara, the two of them had eradicated the problem.
