After speaking about it for a while, Shirley and I
decided to go to Storms River to do the walk to the suspension bridge. It was
an absolutely beautiful day! A pleasant drive with a minor missed-turnoff
detour, we arrived at the gates to Tsitsikamma National Park only to queue for
a while.. Perhaps the beginning of the school holidays was not the best time to
go! But the wait wasn’t too long, and the walk to the suspension bridge was
surprisingly empty considering the number of cars around! It was a stunning
walk! We saw so many dassies and lizards along the way, I had so much fun
taking photos of them! After crossing the suspension bridge we decided to take
the additional trail to the lookout point.. What a climb! We just went up and
up and up and up, we needed a few rest stops along the way. When we finally got
to the bench at the top, wow was it all worth it! To sit up there and
rehydrate, sharing a packet of chips for lunch, and survey the land and sea far
below us. To know the reality of human frailty against the persistence of land
and sea over time, but to marvel at the sanctity of life and be strengthened by
vitality and breath!
