Leigh June 24h.
neurontin 300mg capsule We arrived late, coming from Cape Town, and are now in Knysna (pronounced “nize-nuh”), a holiday town on the Indian Ocean. As usual, there is no one here; winter in a seaside town. What is more, the South Africans seem to shut down at night: for sure in the hotel industry it is considered a major concession to allow you to check in after six p.m.; after nine is almost inconceivable, even in this the Garden Route, the most touristed part of the country. Similarly, after this time the roads are consistently empty; we found this even in Cape Town. I think this is a valid observation: there is a national fear of the night. Anyway, we made arrangements with our hostel, or “backpackers” as they call them here, that we would arrive at eleven, which was grudgingly assented to; and then of course we arrived on time to find all the lights off, and no one at the door. Repeated loud knocking produced no results; but a phone call did wake the man on the nightshift. This is our second backpackers’ lodge; and neither have been terribly comfortable. Catherine found various dried-out insects on the sheets, and is convinced they are bedbugs; I think otherwise, but she has all our bags off the floor. The room has no heat and is very cold; and the bathroom quite dirty. But we are here for only a few hours; we intend to leave by six a.m. Tomorrow we visit an animal hospital and rehabilitation center called Tanikwa, where at dawn we will take their cheetahs out for a walk.
