(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/aboarddi/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Thursday was our last night (at least for this visit) in Grahamstown. We took Mum and spent the evening at Sue\u2019s home. The next morning we sorted our final things out and left mid-morning with one quick stop, again, at Sue\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Our destination was Plettenberg Bay some 3 hours and 30 mins drive to the the west. We took a stop at Jeffrey\u2019s Bay for lunch. We found a sushi bar looking out over the sea. More importantly it was covered, as the weather had been grim all morning.<\/p>\n
Due to the weather we had no appetite for exploring so we pushed on to Plettenberg Bay, google maps flawlessly bringing us to our destination. We’re very glad we did. For two reasons. The first is that they were both particularly good. The second is that the weather today is truly awful.<\/p>\n Monkeyland involved joining a group and being guided around a few acres of enclosed forest containing 10 species of primates. An not just monkeys, we had lemurs and apes too. We were lucky enough to see all 10 species.<\/p>\n Birds of Eden claims to be the worlds largest aviary and probably is. Inside there is a three dimensional pathway snaking down, up and across a verdant valley populated by many species of birds and a few more monkeys. Different areas were crafted into different habitats attracting different populations of birds. While we’re not bird watchers ourselves, we can believe this to be a twitchers paradise.<\/p>\n
\nYesterday, Saturday, the weather was only slightly improved. We stayed in for the morning and in the afternoon decided to try our luck with the combined Monkeyland<\/a> \/ Birds of Eden<\/a> attractions.<\/p>\n
