The room may have been really hot during the night, but it was good to sleep on a real bed. Having had a late start, we headed down to Knysna's waterfront. Starting first with a walk round the very expensive looking Thesen Island, we stopped and sampled the local Mitchell's ales.
Slightly wobblier on our feet, we had a spot of lunch and then headed to the quay. Knysna is famous for its oysters, which unfortunately neither of us are very keen on. In a lot of ways the restaurants and bars around the waterside were pretty wasted on us. It is still quite an attractive area however and should you have a few million rand to spend, probably a very nice place to live!
Having had our fill of the shops, that all seemed to sell pretty much the same thing, we wandered back to town. Once again it was a very hot and humid day, so our shopping didn't last long. Instead we opted for returning to the relative cool of our hostel. Provided we stayed out of our room that is. We must have the hottest room in the here!
It will be an early one tonight, as we head to George tomorrow. Rather unhelpfully the reception doesn't open until 8am here, so we won't get much of an early start. With luck, we will cover the 80km day ahead of us before it gets too hot.
