Last day in Knysna

Our hotel in Knysna sits on the coastal waterways running through the little island of Thesen (it's like Venice but with beach houses) and across from the pool in the back are several houses that are close enough to hear the owners if they come outside. Yesterday I overheard two preteen South African sisters, one stepped outside specifically to tell the other one, "You stole my makeup... again." Ah sisterly love, it translates to every country! 

Until I can upload pictures, here is a good page to check out - Knysna is famous for "The Heads", the two cliffs that jut out and almost touch to protect the calm bay from the very active Indian Ocean (we went through the Heads on a boat, very big waves!) 

Or go here for Wikitravel... 

We leave Knysna today to make our way to Port Elizabeth. We're going to take our time getting there and stop in a few places that have been recommended to us - one area is supposedly the "Hamptons of SA" so we'll see what that's all about. We're just in Port Elizabeth for one night and tomorrow we are picked up and driven out for our last stop - the safari! This is where we will spend Christmas Day, which I imagine will be pretty memorable. I should have wifi there as well, but in case it doesn't come through, Merry early Christmas!
