Mossel Bay

We arrived in the afternoon after enjoying the wonderful view throughout the coastal area, which sometimes looks similar to how you would imagine the “Yellowstone Park” to look like.

Mussels Bay is the first major city on the “Garden Route” which leads up to the “Wild Coast” . Mussels Bay may used to have charm but the refineries outside of town have had an impact. People are fishing less and working in big companies. The city itself is laid back and also clearly segregates rich whites from blacks. We took a dorm bed in a train that has been put to rest at the coast. Quite funny. Talking of which - burping Stacey was also there and after quickly checking the tourist attractions and the Sea we started drinking and kept it up till late. The bars were quite empty, but we encountered some characters like a sixty years old break-dancer.

But it is not a place where you stay more than one night. So we drove of to Wilderness, where he dropped me because he was in a time situation.
