    • The choo tjoe is a cute little train that departs at George Station and roundtrips to Knysna, crossing mountains, lakes and traversing some awesome seaside scenery.

    • Known as the Moederkerk (Mother Church), the Dutch Reformed church in George is an architectural beauty. Set beneath the mountain, on Courtenay street, it was originally built as to be viewable from most parts of the then small town.

    • Like a reluctant superhero, the powervan will take you up the Outeniqua mountain, with a nice included picnic.

    It can also be arranged as a cycling trip, where you get to come down on a mountain bike via the historic (and narrow) Montagu pass,

    • Victoria Bay is one of South Africa's top surfing spots. It's a relatively small beach, with limited parking etc., and can get quite crowded in summer.

    Address: Off the N2 between George and Wilderness
    Directions: Take the N2 to Knysna, after leaving town you'll see an Engen garage after about 7 mins. The turnoff is about 400m' past this to the right. Follow the road all the way down to the beach.

    • About 20 mins. west of George, are two little places called Tergniet and Reebok. At spring low tide, the rock shelves are a wonderful place to shell oysters, and have them fresh on the rocks with some lemon, pepper & a nice bottle of champagne.

    Try not to net the wildlife in the picture though!

    Directions: 20 mins. west of George on the N2, take the Kleinbrak turn-off, and then follow the signs to the Tergniet beach.

     Looking forward to the chootjoe trip advertised in the Meiers Weltreisen brochure, to be told when we get there the train is not running, has not run, and will not run for another year. Due to a landslide. The Company are dishonest with their clients    		Acirfa Mon Nov 27, 2006 11:19 UTC
