Mossel Bay is worth a visit
February 1st, 2010
Not only was Mossel Bay discovered by Vasco Da Gama nine years after Dias, but it has an array of tourist attractions such as the renown Post Office Tree, which according to the legend, a letter was placed in an old shoe by Pedro d’ Aitaide in 1501 in a milkwood tree, which is now known as the Post Office tree. The bay also received it name due to the Dutch commander Paulus van Caerden, who arrived on the bay on the 8th July 1601 and could not find any refreshments besides mussels. Mossel Bay is a delightful place to visit, so why not hire a vehicle from george car hire and make a few of your own discoveries?
