Day 13 of tour - travel to Cape Town

It was a ten hour bus ride from Knysna to Cape Town.  We have "comfort stops" every two hours, where there are reasonable bathrooms and usually a place to buy coffee or ice cream.  Every time I see tourists eating ice cream I think of my mother's travel advice: "every country has ice cream" so she always found something to eat.

We stopped for lunch at a restaurant in the historic town of Swellendam after touring a small museum of historic furniture and tools.

As we got closer to Cape Town the scenery became greener and greener and the rolling countryside more and more beautiful and lush.  We watched the movie Invictus on monitors in the bus to help pass the time, but we were impressed with the scenery we were passing.
