Day 8: Tuesday 15 September. Transfer to Knysna

Today was another travel day. After breakfast we set off on the fairly long journey to Johannesburg airport for our flight to George.  As always, Sylvia and Mike made the whole experience painless.  Our cases were taken by porters to the check in desks where there was no queue, we were through security and into the departure lounge where we enjoyed a sandwich and drink. Never had a toasted egg mayo sandwich before but it was tasty.

Unfortunately the flight was an hour late but other than that, it was fine and we were soon landing in George. 

On our journey to the hotel we could see how the landscape had changed.  It was now green and lush.

Dinner tonight was at a local restaurant, the Dry Dock. We had a delicious meal of oysters, local fish and creme brûlée, washed down with wine and enjoyed the company of others from our group.








Like boarding our own private jet!
