Caledon - Mossel Bay - Plettenberg Bay - St Francis

The left picture shows us outside the lilac painted house in Caledon where the B+B is
located.
The picture above is JJ's Restaurant where we had dinner.

This is a typical view seen from the road going from Cape Town to Mossel Bay.
Mile after mile of yellow fields but very few houses. The mountains in the north
form a majestic
background.
|
|
Here is Mossel Bay
and the Indian Ocean. The waves were great and strong but the temperature in the water did not make bathing an enjoyable experience, though a few tough Swedes braved the chilling water. |
|
We stayed overnight in Mossel Bay and continued on Thursday along the beautiful coast. To the left a place called
Wilderness.
|
|
 |
Food - this time Japanese - in Plettenberg Bay.
|
|
| Plettenberg Bay is a luxurious seaside resort. This is the exclusive, Anlin
Place.
On Friday in a calm lagoon in Tsitsikama Natures Valley. A wonderful place. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| In Tsitsikama there is "The Big Tree" or "Groote Boom", a tree 800 years old of enormous dimensions. It is a yellowwood. Height 36,6 m, crown spread 32,9 m, girth 8,9 m or 8 adults. Trunk content 50,9 cubic
metres.
|
 |
Many severe fires have destroyed vast areas this year.
|
| |
|
|
 |
On Friday evening we stopped in St Francis
Bay, a small town with traditional buildings.
And of course we found a good restaurant. This time we chose a Portuguese meal with generous portions.
