More adventures.

Yesterday I had to pop into the local Pick n Pay supermarket and just to make my day the cashier's name was Happiness Ngubo and she was happiness personified.
The adventures started with a booked ferry trip to the Featherbed Nature Reserve which encompasses the western headland of the famous Knysna Heads. From the ferry landing we were transported by a Unimog which towed trailers full of visitors up to the top of the headland then it was walk back down again through the bush to a buffet lunch then back on the ferry. The whole experience was informative but a little too organised for me though I did meet some very pleasant Swedish people - may have to go visiting over there sometime.

That trip was finished by 2pm so it would have been madness not to go on the Mitchell's brewery tour and tasting. The tour itself was interesting but the beer was less so, I found it a little lacking in taste.

Today was admin day, I only had a pair of swimming shorts and an England rugby top left that was clean so after dropping off a suitcase full of clothes at the laundromat I went for what was supposed to be a 9 km walk around the Robberg PeninsulaI. It may be 9 kms as the crow flies but that does not take into account the ups and downs - talk about burning calves but I am glad I did it.

Steak tonight and I am taking my hostesses advice and going to a restaurant only used by locals.
