Knysna is among other things famous for its wood work. It is also a tourist attraction and a place for retirement. It has a mild climate. We went there to have a view on the wood craft they make in Knysna. Manfred had a special shop in mind, with lots of interesting items in it. However, the shop was gone. Now there is a video shop in it. Things change. However, we went into another shop, a furniture store. They have lots of different kinds of wooden furniture and decorative items. In all the different wood types available in the region.

While the wood craft part was not a full success, we did some shopping. Manfred needs souvenirs (mitbringsel to be precise) for the people in Germany when he is doing his “home assignment” in Germany. I also got something, but I will not got into too much detail about it right now.

While shopping and sightseeing, I took several photos.

The houses are quite nice and have a typical style. I guess it is some colonial style buildings. Also we found a fountain made out of old machine parts. The town center is very open and “Europeanish”, because people walk on sidewalks. If they would remove the cars and make a pedestrian area out of it, it would look like an Dutch town mixed with a German street village. After a while walking around, we had a capuccino in a nice cafe. The we died some shopping at little shops on the street and went back to the car and on our way to George.
