DAY 14 : 12 MARCH 2011 : KNYSNA


We woke up to rain – at times quite heavy but mostly misty rain.  The first rain that Knysna has had for ages!   The Kewley’s seem to take the rain with them wherever they go!!!

 
We had phoned Jenny and Erwin Leibnitz who have just moved from Dullstroom to Plettenberg Bay and went through to see them for morning tea.   We landed up leaving there after 3pm.  It was wonderful catching up with.   We hadn’t seen them for a couple a years and Jenny is one of two cousins that I possess.

The McConnachies – Ian (Jock) and Helen – invited us to dinner with them at the restaurant at the Knysna Heads – right on the rocks which are floodlit at nights.   A wonderful position.   We however went to their home on Leisure Isle first, and watched the tailend of the Sa/India cricket match.   What an exciting end there was.   Robin Petersen really excelled.  We had almost forgotten that the cricket world cup was being held in India as we have not seen TV since leaving home two weeks ago.
Jock McConnachie was in the army with Doggy and he and Helen got married one month after us, and in our early married life in Stellenbosch (they were in Cape Town) we spent quite a bit of time together.   So it was great seeing them again, especially Helen who we hadn’t seen for about 20 years.   Jock has fished with Doggy in Mozambique a couple of times.
