So here we are. The motion sickness pills were a good idea. One night in and it’s already been worth the five-hour-straight drive. We went for a walk to the view deck about 100 meters from the house. They say a picture paints a thousand words. So here:

| Knysna view |
Did you know that a blunt nose is better for re-entering the earth’s atmosphere than a sharp one (When it comes to space shuttles)? National Geographic is on. I thought Richard Hammond was a Top Gear narrator. Anyway, I’m in Knysna! It’s a beautiful place! As you see in the picture. The Pick and Pay was packed today, and the oyster festival hasn’t even started. We queued for about 45 minutes! But where else in the world can you buy fresh large (huge!) oysters for only R6.00 each?

| Oysters |
After downing our oysters we went for a drive up to THE PRIVATE ESTATE. Basically what’s happened is that someone has decided that the Eastern Head of the Knysna Estuary is too cool for the existing residents (despite our houses being scattered upon a championship golf course) so they’ve built the PRIVATE ESTATE. They’ve also bought the golf course. So now if you wander too far down your own road, you’ll be sent packing by one of the PRIVATE ESTATE guards on their souped-up golf carts. It’s like being told you’re not elite enough to play in your own back-yard.
But that’s fine, we’ll just stick to our side of the Head in our slightly slower but perfectly adequate golf cart.
I hope you all come back soon for more Knys stories coming soon!
