Knysna

We are in Knysna on a little island called Thesen. It's tiny, we're just off the main shoreland. Our hotel used to be an old industrial building that was converted and it's now this modern space. Very cool. We had clouds for the first time this morning, which was actually a good thing because we decided to go on our first run of the trip so it was a bit cooler. The run was painful! A full week of vacation eating does not a good run make. It was nice to see the island though, there's a pretty bay waterfront and the whole place smells like jasmine. 

We are going on a boat later this afternoon - we need to make use of this beautiful water while we have it, after this we head inland for the safari! Yesterday afternoon after we got settled, we sat outside at one of the waterfront bars and had a few beers and some oysters (this area is famous for their oysters), and the entire time we were out there the bar was playing Texas Hill Country music. I mean it actually included fiddles and lyrics about Austin and San Antonio ("San An-tone..."). We got such a kick out of that, we've not even heard that music in London! Good music travels anywhere. 

Must go, my mojito just arrived...
