After spending a week in Benoni, we flew to George and then drove to Knysna, where we had a very self-indulgent three night stay.

The Kulula flight from Johanesburg was very pleasant and we were soon in George.

The townships near George are in stark contrast to the luxury of the Amanzi Island Lodge on Leisure Isle in Knysna

Our first meal was at Daniela's restaurant at Leisure Isle Lodge, a pleasant walk from where we were staying. The food was excellent.

The sun shone brilliantly on the day after we arrived.
Mojo, the owner's dog, waited patiently over the road in the hopes of someone taking her for walk.
She was not to be disappointed.

We decided to make the most of the perfect weather and walk the four kilometre circumference of Leisure Island.

Kensington Gardens? We were very lost...

An early morning baptism in the lagoon

The second day was even hotter than the first. Mojo was hoping for another walk, but we had other plans today.

Thesen Islands, were there was a Sunday market

Sunday afternoon got hotter and hotter.
We decided to go back to the air-conditioned luxury of our suite and just people watch, with the help of a few long cold drinks.

On Monday, we made our way back to George for our return flight to Johannesburg. It had been a deeply relaxing few days.
