Kaaimans River Bridge

Today is our last day at Victoria Bay so we made the most of it. A large group of us from Carmel took a walk along the narrow gauge railway line. The Choo-Tjoo steam train used to run between George and Knysna along the coast but has been closed due to landslides. The train now runs between George and Mossel Bay. The section we walked was on the closed section from Victoria Bay to Kaaimans River. and runs along the coast on the cliffs above the sea to a spectacular bridge across the Kaaimans River right at the mouth of the river. Sadly we crossed two land slide sections but the views of the sea below us were beautiful. Strangely there is a restaurant at the Kaaimans Bridge which was built into a cave. It was closed because the line was closed and two "bergies" were now squatting there.
