Carmel, George, and Wilderness

After Knysna, we drove to George. Nothing really eventful happend on that trip and we arrived savely at George. Manfred had booked a room at Carmel, which is a holiday resort were he has been before. However, he did’nt know exactly where is was and so we did some up and down driving and some asking until we found the entrance.

In bright daylight that task would have been easier, because they have a sign on their entrance. However, at night you cannot read it because its dark and no light points to the sign. So it is invisible. Because it was so late, the reception was already closed and we found our key in a locker. Then after a short search for the room, we found it dropped out bags there and went of for some supper. So we drove to Wilderness, which is a small town close to Carmel and George and had a delicious meal.

South Africa has quite a diverse wildlife and so I decided to have a bit of everything (more or less). I had a corn-based carbohydrate thing, which is closely related to mush. But it is white in color. It is a typical South African thing. The other vegetables were nothing unusual. The meat part comprised ostrich, spring bock, and kudu. Prepared properly ostrich is quite delicious.

After this filling meal. It was so delicious, but also too much. We went back to Carmel and went to bed.

The next morning stated early, the ran a bell at 8:00 and so we jumped out of bed and searched for a shower. As there was no shower for men available, we took the liberty to use the women’s showers. Then we had some breakfast. As we had such an opulent meal in the evening, we just got some. Corn-based South African breakfast dish, orange juice, and coffee. Other guests told us that in Sedgefield, they have a nice local crafts market. So our next stop was Sedgefield.
