Road Trip Day 5: Knysna & Garden Route to Mossel Bay

Thursday, July 1

Knysna, RSA to Mossel Bay, RSA (113km or 70mi)

Our day got started early with breakfast being slipped through our door at 7:30am.  We enjoyed breakfast in bed, then headed down to Knysna‘s waterfront for some shopping and got some great souvenirs.  We hopped back on the N2 and were driving the Garden Route by 10:30am.  The Garden Route ends at Mossel Bay (wiki).  We stopped here to get a better look at the beaches and drive through the city a bit.  We wanted to pick up some coffees and happened on the ridiculously cute Fynbos Shoppe & Coffee Shop.  It was so cute that it was almost a shame to take our cappuccinos to go – but we wanted to see what else our South African Road Trip Adventure had in store for us… and we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do  next.

Knysna Waterfront (and the Drydock Food Co. from last nights awesome dinner):

Cute little shops at Knysna waterfront selling all sorts of arts & crafts, souvenirs and more:

This pub near Knysna’s waterfront reminded us of Josh’s folks’ favorite pub, Olde P, in Kalamazoo!
