Mossel Bay

Mossel Bay

We arrived after sunset, but managed to find a decent place to stay despite the school hockey championships going on in Mossel Bay these days: Blue Whale B&B. Nice people, full English breakfast (again without the beans…) and a room that would be perfect, if it didn’t smell like the house I visited with my cousin in Wales once – old carpets and curtains.

Unfortunately both of us came down with a flew right in the beginning of the holidays. So we didn’t do that much on our first day. We started our day late, wanted to go on a boat trip to Seal Island, which didn’t go, because the boat was broken and we ended up walking around this wonderful little town and enjoying it. We did visit the shark lab in the afternoon, though! That was tiny but very interesting! We found out hoe sharks are hatched and born. Very interesting. Tiny lab though.

We ended our day at a dinner at Pavilion, recommended by Lonely Planet, at the beach, with burger and roasted vegetable salad. It was wonderful, only a little cold – but nothing a hot bath couldn’t cure!
