TRAVELTIME - Future Outings

28TH JUNE - 5TH JULY 2012

NATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL
GRAHAMSTOWN
28th June-8th July

Our tour to Grahamstown is now a reality. Our recce in July 2011 has borne fruit as we now have accommodation booked and as at 20th February 2012 we have 13 travelers booked to go on this exciting escapade. Following are our current plans.

The above photos depict the High Corner Guest House in the centre of Grahamstown where we have reserved 2 cottages.
We explored travel options of road and air and to date all bookings are for road transport. This doesn't exclude air travel for additional passengers, as we can arrange flights to Port Elizabeth and meet you there for onward transport by road to Grahamstown which is 132km from the airport. Tour dates for "air passengers" are: 29th June- to 4th July. Ask for full details.

We depart Cape Town on Thursday 28th June and travel in a Hylton Ross coach to Knysna where we will overnight  at The Knysna Log-Inn, a beautiful boutique hotel, situated in the heart of Knysna. It is ideally located to allow its guests to enjoy the Waterfront.

Accommodation has been reserved in 4-star self catering cottages & apartments. Breakfast and dinner will be arranged at local restaurants and is included in the package price.

We are planning to visit a different restaurant each night, so be prepared to make the most of your tour

There are just too many performances to attend in the available time, so we need to pre-plan our show preferences and pre-book well beforehand. The Program is normally released early in the New Year; I will ensure that each participant gets a copy to study before we arrange a local dinner to allow us all to meet fellow travelers and confirm our particular preferences. This is now a reality, with programmes in hand and performances booked.. (12th May '12)

There will be time to browse the craft markets which are open everyday during the festival

Join in the festivities or simply relax and enjoy the activities, street theatre, art exhibitions, fringe performances, music and dance that makes up the festival in Grahamstown.

We depart Grahamstown on 4th July, with passengers returning by air being taken to the airport in Port Elizabeth and the remainder travelling by road with an overnight stop in Plettenberg Bay at the Whalesong Lodge. Hylton Ross transport will return us to our homes by mid afternoon on 5th July.
There remains a fair amount of work to be done before we can issue a final itinerary, so we will continue to update this site as we progress towards the 28th June 2012. In the  meantime have a look at the  official festival site or download our  information brochure2  &  information brochure3
