After the transkeii, we stop off at John-Roy's farm where I spent some holidays during my master. Warm welcome from Francois and Wendy. Weird being back in Port Alfred after such a long time...almost 5 years. We went on a ride in the fields with the 4x4. I briefly saw the shooting range where i shot my first cans of coke. The dam has changed quite drastically. There is a nice guest house there now, the fish eagle i believe. No voefie slide yet though. We have a fantastic braai and we go to sleep. The next day we head towards J bay. We now jump onto the garden route and the city golf is flying. J bay is very disappointing. We get a nice spot to stay though, right on the beach with a view on supertubes. Unfortunately supertubes is dead at the moment. Nice walk on the beach, a few bargains on baggies and slops and a great diner at a mexican restaurant. Time to head for Knysna. Stop at the ? bridge for a look at the bungie jumpers. So high. No way i am not doing it. Definitely too high. Then a quick stop at ? where Karis used to go with her dad. Nice beach surrounded by weird old age castles. Finally, we get into the beautiful Knysna. We meet Steven and ? at a local bar. Old stories and the now infamous bunny chow joke.

So it goes. Meet them the next day at their flat on the golf estate. Such a kif location. Play some tennis on Xbox 360.

Mossel bay! First time in Mossels and i just love it. Little fisherman village discovered by Bartolome Dias (infamous portuguese sailor, like Duarte Catarino), it remains unspoilt. The coast is wild and rocky. 2 surf spots at the point: inner and outer pool. Great vibe. Meet the aunt, auntie Rosie, such a character. Reminds me of my people in Creuse, very spontaneous and free.

Having the best diner @ Delphinos on the beach. The backpacker where we stay is just awesome. Sad to leave but we will come back for sure.

Roi Eils. Elisabeth and Basil the frenchies. Nice visit for lunch. Same old same old. Talk about their next visit to France.

Finally Cape Town. Bad vibes when arriving with a failed attempt of smuggling when we gave the car back. Some random guy trying to get money from us. Luckily J. was alert and we drove away without any harm. Still a very bad welcome. So it goes.

Family. Nice diners. Friends. Just relax.
