Cintsa and Transkei Tour


A few of us who met in Coffee Bay - me, Baz, Jon, Yildez, and Belinda - also ended up together in Cintsa. We all stayed at the Buccaneers. The hostel was situated near the beach with a fantastic view of the river and bay. I spent most of the time relaxing on the beach or at the hostel. Also got some canoeing in with some people on the second day up the river. I ended up on a boat with another guy, but neither of us could row properly and we zig zagged up the river. The boat must've been f***ed up. We got a good arm exercise from it anyhow since we probably covered twice the distance of others. There is also a lady who runs a reflexology spa up the hill from the hostel. I booked myself in for an hour of full body massage - ahhhhh.

By the third day there, Baz, Jon, and I were the only ones left from the original group, and we booked ourselves on the one day Transkei tour. The tour took us through remote parts of the Transkei area - waterfalls for cliff diving, Work for Water project, shipwrecked beach, etc. There was a bit of 4x4 experience involved to get to some of the spots too. It was a beautiful tour, tho a bit pricey.
