The big drive


We started on the west coast in Paternoster full of charming white fishermen's cottages some old, some new


 

And dinner on the beach with oysters accompanied by an interestingly carved lime.


Scored a room in a guest house with a sliver of ocean view from the breakfast table.


And peddled 397 miles almost to  the east cape. My map says it should take six and a half hours but it took us nine. We were really, really tired of sitting in the car. 

But we landed in a lovely apartment in Knysnas (don't pronounce the k) with a balcony in the tree tops, smelly jasmine and birdsong all around. Lots of those songs were really exotic!


Knysnas is a real resort town, we took a boat out to the "heads" where the river flows into the sea. We had a ride to the top of the hill and walked very carefully downtown to the bottom through the Featherbed Nature Preserve and lunch.
