WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF - DREAMS LOS CABOS RESORT REVIEW
WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF - DREAMS LOS CABOS RESORT REVIEW
By Richard Chudy
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand...
Is all that we see or seem,
But a dream within a dream?...

Mossel Bay on the Garden Route - Your Summer Getaway
If you are planning a trip through the Garden Route this summer,
Mossel Bay is a stopping point (on many Garden Route tours).
There is a plethora of
'fun in the sun' activities as well as relaxation and
rejuvenation for the weary traveler. Go bungee jumping, bridge
swinging, abseiling, and South Africa's sport for the brave,
shark-cage diving! You can ride on elephants through the
Botlierskop Game Reserve and take a trip out to nearby Seal
Island with its 3000 Cape Fur seals. You might find that
dolphins will accompany your boat to seal island, or in season
(July to November a whale). If you want to do something
glamorous this festive season, embark on a helicopter flip over
the town and its gorgeous bay (also known as Bay Of Attractions).
Mossel Bay is South Africa's historical gem. For the culturally
minded, there is the Maritime Museum, Cultural Museum, the Shell
Museum, the Aquarium, and the Ethno-Botanical garden. Visit
Hough's Herbal garden in Great Brak and the many art galleries
in this small town. Take a drive to the original mission village
of Friemersheim in the Outeniqua hills and revisit the South
Africa of old.
Fun Festive Activities
Catamaran Sailing: The Seven Seas is a 60-foot luxury
catamaran, expertly fitted out for ultimate style and pleasure.
Passengers can enjoy the seal island trips and sunset cruises in
comfort, while watching stunning sunsets from the deck,
restaurant, dining room, or cocktail bar.
Oyster Catcher Trail: This coastal hiking trail starts in
a Khoi San cave at the old fishing village of Mossel Bay and
ends with a small boat trip across the Gouritz River. This is
not just a walk - it's a love affair with nature!
Horse Riding & Horse Trails: Go horse riding, ride on the
edge of coastal cliffs where you can watch the whales frolicking
below. There is also a multi-day horse tour of the Garden
Route's beaches, mountains, and indigenous forest on horseback.
Face Adrenalin: A major theme in the development of
humanity is to face and overcome fear; your ultimate adrenalin
test would be the 65-meter Gouritz bungy jump and bridge swing.
Mossel Bay Deepsea Adventures: Come and enjoy a deep sea,
fishing trip on the expertly rigged 8m, Butt Cat in Mossel Bay.
Can accommodate up to eight people and all tackle and bait is
available. All fish caught, may be kept (subject to Bag Limits).
Model Shipyard: You can watch shipbuilders in action
while they are busy building their model ships. They supply and
build scale model ships from times gone by.
Garden Route Casino: If you are an avid Egoli fan, get to
the Garden Route Casino between 18th and 22nd of December so you
can meet your favourite star.
Garden Route Game Lodge: Get to see the Big Five and
various other animal species in this malaria-free area. The
Reptile Park is also an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
You can enjoy an authentic African meal at the thatched boma and
relax in a jaccuzzi under the African skies.
Footprints Social Entrepreneurs: Explore this community!
Visit the Arts and Craft Centre; there are guided tours to
experience the Cultural and Natural Environment of Tarka
Village, and a visit to St Mary Magdalene Chapel built on a
natural spring. Tour guides to the angling spots that will
deliver the 'big one'. A visit to the Community Craft Centre
housed in the Lutheran Mission School, where handcrafted
articles are on display, and can be purchased.
Emqolweni Kamama Café: This is South Africa's only
non-alcoholic shebeen. It introduces a brand new concept of
socialising in the townships. Adults normally have fun in
shebeens whilst children play in the streets. Imqolweni has
changed this: now women and children have the opportunity to
have fun together at a coffee shop, where women chat and the
children play in a safe play park environment.
