Feb 15 FIRST DIP INTO THE INDIAN OCEAN

It’s exciting to dip our toes into the Indian Ocean for the first time. It is great to get the definitive tour of Knysna, learn about the history, economics, culture of this region. There are many lovely retirement communities here and you can see why. This climate, and the easy way of life are very appealing at our age. What are we doing living in Calgary? It was -3 when we left and we came to almost +30 here!
  We stop off for ice cream - 99s remembered from our childhood (for the non-Brits, a soft ice cream cone with a Cadbury chocolate flake poked in the top - yum!) Then to a lovely resort dining room on th edge of the ocean for another wonderful seafood linguini (shared by Jill & I) and fish just out of the ocean for the guys.
  Coming back hot and tired, we rest up, enjoy a nice light supper and share memories on PowerPoint on their big TV of D&J’s past trip with Trish and Arthur, who passed away two years ago and is still with us in our hearts. It’s a full moon to wind up a perfect day here at this warm and welcoming home and we sleep like logs, woken only by the birds.
