I'm not long back from Mossel Bay in The Garden Route in South Africa, We bought a house there about 2 years ago ready for retirement so went down to have a look around. Really stunning place, amazing beaches, outstanding restaurants and unlike the big cities in South Africa very very safe. Anyone looking for a different place to visit, consider it...you will not be disappointed.

You're spot on Ozzy, I've joined as a country member at Mossel Bay Golf Club....outstanding track, but the town and surrounding area reminds me of the little towns on the California west coast...but the main difference id the price...everything is so cheap

Love the west coast of California, especially from around Monterey up to the Oregon border.

Hmm, 10,000km's. closer than California :)

Have you had your day on the Cabanas yet ?? Ours had a cooler box conveniently located to the right side of the bed, it got topped up 3 times if I remember rightly. Me and the wife were blitzed by the time we got back to the room

Couple of pics from today.
Portpatrick, and a quiet one in my newly acquired Moretti glass. Didn't nick it, I asked in a bar if I could buy one, and was given it free....barman said he was happy to give me it, as most people just nicked them. I put a few quid in the RNLI box in lieu of payment....

Off to N.Z. at the end of November for 10 weeks. We have family and friends out there who, thanks to covid (and their P.M) we haven't seen for three years - kiwis are a very sociable lot so really looking forward to Christmas which is going to be very different!
