10 best things to do at the Knysna Oyster Fest.
A behind-the-scenes look at the top 10 things to do at the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival...
Knysna, South Africa
I continued down the Garden Route in South Africa to the town of Knysna. Again, I was blown away by how beautiful the coastline is. I didn't expect so much of the coast of South Africa to be this stunning which is probably my own fault. I really did expect South Africa to be more like you see on all the ads. I was actually very pleased to find out it is the way it is. There is such variety to the country. This video from Knysna again shows some of that beautiful diversity.
In my next episode from South Africa I continue through to Addo for my first South African safari.

South Africa - The stunning 7 Passes Route between George and Knysna
(We travelled from George to Knysna as can be seen in the video clip).
This roadway is a delightful detour off the N2 coastal highway on the Garden Route known as South Africa's Seven Passes (or 7 Passes) route between George and Knysna in the Western Cape. It's a scenic route which passes guest farms, tiny wooden settlements, and whisks visitors through the dramatic Phantom Pass, named for a butterfly and not a ghost.
The Seven Passes route is a 75km long trip that takes you past 7 gorges cut deep by rivers flowing to the sea. Legendary engineer Thomas Bain designed the road in 1883, but it was a sweaty business for the great road engineer.
Not only did he and his crew have to battle through dense bush, he was also constantly at loggerheads with his brother-in-law, Adam de Smidt, who shared the contract. Their differences of opinion concerning the Seven Passes near George were so severe that after the job they were no longer on speaking terms.
In the end, Bain came up trumps and produced a very user-friendly dirt road with his gang of convicts who, amazingly for those times, were actually paid salaries.
Today, you'll drive past tiny villages such as Rheenendal and Karatara, the scene of a brief gold rush in 1975. The 7 rivers for which the gorges are named are the Swart, Hoogekraal, Homtini, Karatara, Silver, Kaaimans, and Touw. You'll traverse single-lane bridges, forestry settlements, picnic at a place called Big Tree and slowly unwind as you absorb the relaxing woodland atmosphere.
One of the main attractions along this route is Millwood, one of the early gold-rush towns in the Outeniqua Mountains, which is also home to another mountain pass near George. In its heyday it had bars, banks, hotels and a police station. Today, there's a guesthouse, a small museum, and a disused mine that is now open to the public.
We visited Highland in Karatara where the late writer George Bernard Shaw had the infamous vehicle accident in which both he and his wife were injured.
