Knysna

We really enjoyed our time in Knysna, a small harbour town overlooking a beautiful lagoon. The town is famous for its wild oysters (it holds an oyster festival each year) so we made sure we tried those, which were delicious. It is also home to Mitchell's Brewery, South Africa's first micro brewery.  We took the brewery tour to learn about the production of their six natural craft beers. It was really interesting to find out how many different processes are used to reach the end product. Their beers are completely chemical free and only organic and native ingredients are used meaning the beers have a relatively short shelf life, quite unique. It was such a small production line with one man filling the bottles, another putting the tops on and another sticking on labels. After the tour we have a tasting tray each and we both really enjoyed all six.

We also treated ourselves to a fantastic meal at a highly rated seafood restaurant. We ate scallops, mussels and crayfish. Yum yum!

As well as eating and drinking we walked out to Knysna Heads to take in the wonderful views of the lagoon and out to the ocean where we saw a pod of dolphins swim by.
