Overnighting in Mossell Bay

On the way drive back to Cape Town from Addo Elephant Park, we overnighted in Mossel Bay.

 

Highlights included:

• Park House Lodge, the beautiful backpackers, where we stayed.   It is an old sandstone Georgian House, built in the 1850's, with high ceilings and two baths (much to Chrisèl's delight).
• A nice evening walk along the water's front, checking out all the restaurants.
• A huge braai (5 different types of meat!) at the hostel for only R90 and chatting to the very friendly host and two lovely German ladies who raved about the Jungle Monkey in Port St Johns, inspiring us decide to go there on our Baz trip.
• Drinking wine and sitting by the fire by candle light. Load shedding has its benefits!
• Meditating in the branches of a beautiful tree early in the morning in the Botanical Garden next to the hostel.
