Cupcake Heaven

Today we decided to wander out in the rain and explore Knysna town centre, which as it turns out is only a 5min drive from where we are staying. Score! Since it wasn't really beach weather, we decided to check out the local attractions instead. Knysna central has a bit of a weird setup with a couple of local malls within walking distance of each other and mostly outdoors.  Needless to say that the outdoorsy malls left us quite wet and longing for a nice warm cuppa. While wondering around Knysna mall we came across a quaint little store called Dinky Cakes. This place epitomizes cupcake heaven and I fell head over heel in love. Aside from the delicious cupcakes, they also sell a variety of niceties and tasty treats, such as milkshakes, date balls, cute pink stuff, coffees, sandwiches and my personal weakness, Coconut Ice. With such a wide variety of cupcakes to choose from, Kaif and I found it really difficult to decide on just one cupcake each, some of the flavors included: KitKat, ...

Car Trouble

It was inevitable that our 15 year old car (VW Citi Golf) was going to cause us issues on the trip. This morning, it happened. We were packed up and ready to go to our next stop, Port Elizabeth. Then the car wouldn't start, just a clunking noise when turning the ignition. We asked our host Mark for a number of a local mechanic and got in touch with PCL Auto Services. They came round to have a look and after jump starting the car it became clear that our battery was on its way out. After taking the car to be tested it was confirmed that not only was the battery dead, our alternator was playing up too. We then had to check the car into the workshop and were told by the nice lady there that it may be possible that the car would be out of service until tomorrow. When we got back to the room, we were planning how we were going to reschedule the rest of the trip. If we didn't make it to Port Elizabeth tonight then it meant we may have to attempt to drive to the next stop of East ...
