Knysna, a geyser and a few elephants!

The higlight of our trip along The Garden Route happened in Knysna. While here it was Craig's parents Tracy and Bruno's 30th Wedding anniversary. We had planned a pretty awesome Surprise for them (even if we do say so ourselves) We organised an exclusive sunset walk with elephants at Knysna Elephant Park. After feeding them with the rest of the group we got to hang around and have extra cuddles (well as much as you can cuddle a four tonne giganton elephant!) and pats and got to walk with them before they bedded down for the night. The experience was incredible and left us lost for words. After the ellies were in bed we got our own private dinner and just reminisced about what we had just experienced.

The fun didn't end there!! Once back at the guest lodge Corrine somehow managed with the strength of an elephant pull the shower tap out of the wall!! This left a giant hot water fountain coming out of the wall causing localised flooding to not only the bathroom but the bedroom and floor below when it seeped through the ceiling. Thankfully the owner was really good about it and got us into a different room that we are proud to say we didn't destroy. No photos were captured at this event.

The next day a sheepish Corrine and the rest of the crew headed towards [[South-Africa/Jeffrey's-Bay]] with a quick stop at Monkey Land and Tenikwa Cat Sanctuary where we got up and close to cheetahs!

Our next big stop will occur at Kruger National Park. See you then!!

What an absolute wonderful way to spend our anniversary. Lots of beautiful memories to keep of our special day spending it with our "kids" and these amazing animals.

We are so blessed to call them our children. Love you lots.
