We spent the last 4 nights in a lovely B&B on an island in the Knysna lagoon, with a view of the Knysna Heads and the Indian Ocean beyond...
We stopped in Hermanus on the way to Knysna for a cup of cappuccino...
With some Hell's Angels...
And watched whales right from the beach and rocky cliffs...
And a Rock Rabbit...
Who knew a vuvuzela was not just for blowing at a soccer game...
I'm not one to rave about food, but we had dinner at a place called The Tides in Knysna that was outrageous. We both though it was the best meal we'd ever had. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall place with an eccentric chef named Michael who waits on you himself and orchestrates the preparation and serving of the meal. The man is an artist! We both had prawns with lemon butter. For about US$15...
We ate there again two nights later.
We went on the John Benn ferry on a sunset cruise across the lagoon, to the heads and back, one evening... and enjoyed another meal of prawns on the ferry...
Just try to get that song, 'Down on the sloop John B,' out of your head!
Call for the captain ashore, I (never) wanna go home... tra la la...
During low tide, you could walk across the lagoon out in front of our B&B, which of course Jan did a couple of times...
The B&B from out in the lagoon...
Alas, all too soon, we had to make our way back home...
