The mist returned and the ocean was grey again while rolling its waves onto the rocks and sandy beach at dawn. It dissipated at around 8:30am and we could feel the sting of the bright sun.

I spotted seals and also some jumping sharks again. It was hard to leave our beach hut but our next residence was in Plettenberg Bay. 

Scott wanted to drive up to the high streets as we were leaving because it was so much fun in this car.

Once out of town we drove through changing landscapes with mountains, palm trees and then hills with conifers growing abundantly. Occasionally there was a whiff of Marijuana like we experienced in Canada. Once past George we encountered plenty of roadworks.

We travelled through the Wilderness and onward to Knysna.

The land around us was very green and we arrived in Knysna to marvel at the beautiful lake and Waterfront docks.

The Drydock restaurant was chosen for lunch on the harbour. Scott ordered Karan steak Argentinian style and I had Rockefeller oysters – garlic and Gruyère cheese plus the red pepper soup of the day! Very tasty, great service and lovely location. 

The landscape once we were back on the road was more Canadian with the green pine trees and green foliage. We drove past some shanty towns and wondered how they would cope in the heat.

Plettenberg Bay is a resort town. We found our gated apartments and settled in.

The Palms Roof top bar was down the road and we marvelled at the view while sipping Daiquiris and margaritas accompanied by corn ribs.

We then explored the shopping strip and bought some supplies. I bought two Wyborowa vodka bottles with 43% alcohol content for $37AUD. Bargain!

In one of the shops, Scott noticed a tiny puppy which was only 8 weeks old. I was allowed a cuddle but Basil is still the cutest! 

The apartment balcony has amazing views and even better from my bedroom balcony upstairs.

Africa is the most amazing place and I’m so glad that Scott encouraged me to come. We are having the best experience so far.

Every Airbnb that Scott has booked outdoes the one before.

The bed and pillows were so comfortable and inviting so we retired to our rooms for the night.
