How To Have The Time Of Your Life In The Garden Route Of South Africa
If you are ever lucky enough to be able to bring a visit to the Garden Route in South Africa, you are in for a real treat. Kilometers of white sandy beaches on one side, flanked by mountains and rain forests on the other side make for a holiday paradise. The route starts in the west at Mossel Bay and ends at the Tsitsikamma rain forest near Plettenberg Bay in the east.
If you arrive from Cape Town's side, the first town you will encounter is Mossel Bay. This old town with its many colonial buildings has a different atmosphere than the more modern towns to the east. It used to be the least developed of the Garden Route towns, but during the past two decades it has started to develop into a tourist town of note. The standards of hotels and guest houses are high - we noticed that our guest house even had baby bath tubs for those traveling with infants.
The twin towns of Groot Brak River and Klein Brak River are situated a few km east of Mossel Bay. Both have been holiday hotspots for countless South Africans for generations. When the Northern hemisphere is sighing under a mantle of snow during winter, it's of course summertime in South Africa. This is part of the reason why the country is getting more and more overseas visitors during the European winter.
George is the major town of the region. Here you will find all modern conveniences like shopping malls, movies and loads of good restaurants. To the east of George lies the renowned coastal resort town of Wilderness. Once again wide open white sandy beaches and many restaurants. Over weekends you will also find live music at many of these restaurants. I prefer to make my own music though: my martin acoustic electric guitar, has been a source of great pleasure for many an evening.
Once you leave Wilderness, the road meanders through a series of green hills with the occasional glimpse of the sapphire blue Indian Ocean in the distance. The town of Sedgefield is in an area with numerous stunning lakes and is therefore equally popular with tourists. Our guide book mentioned that there's a fine costume jewelry wholesale distributor in town, but we couldn't find it.
About sixty kilometers from George the road enters the historical town of Knysna. Situated on the shores of a lagoon, it boasts a charming waterfront area with numerous restaurants and curio shops. Thirty years ago Knysna only came alive during summer, but nowadays the town is swarming with tourists throughout the year.
The last town on the route is Plettenberg Bay. This is where the wealthy and well-known hang out to see and be seen. There's a legion of upmarket hotels and guest houses and just as many restaurants. A few km further to the east you arrive at the eastern border of the Garden Route - the Tsitsikamma rain forest. Here you will forget for a few hours that you are only 200km away from the semi-desert Karroo region - it's a haven of waterfalls and ferns and you might even run into one of the few remaining elephants in the forest.

The Top 10 Most Famous Men with the First Name of George
For the past year I've been compiling famous names to list on my name numerology website. These are all noted individuals, but who are the most famous? Today let's count down the most famous men named George.
The most famous people (based on online chatter) with the first name George are:
10. George Carlin - Stand up Comedian and Actor (Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television, A Place for My Stuff)
9. George Strait - Musician (Twang, Troubadour, Somewhere Down in Texas)
8. George Lucas - Film Director and Producer (American Graffiti, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark)
7. George Orwell - Author (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Animal Farm)
6. George Harrison - Musician including playing lead guitar for the Beatles
5. George Lopez - Actor and Comedian (George Lopez, Lopez Tonight, Beverly Hills Chihuahua)
4. George Michael - Musician (Careless Whisper, Faith, Praying for Time)
3. George Clooney - Actor (Ocean's Eleven, Good Night and Good Luck, O Brother Where Art Thou?)
2. George Washington - First President of the United States of America
...and the most famous man named George is...
1. George Bush - George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush were the 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States of America
Not making the top 10 were George Bailey - Character in the movie It's a Wonderful Life, George Benson - Musician (Turn Your Love Around, Give Me the Night, On Broadway), George Burns - Actor (The Sunshine Boys, Oh God!), George Costanza - Character on the TV series Seinfeld, George Foreman - Professional Boxer (World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Olympic gold medalist), George Gershwin - Composer (Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, Porgy and Bess), George Gilder - Author (Wealth and Poverty, Men and Marriage, Life after Television), George Halas - NFL Chicago Bears Team Owner and Coach, George Hamilton - Actor (Where the Boys Are, Love at First Bite, The Godfather Part III), George Jefferson - Character on the TV series All in the Family and The Jeffersons, George Jetson - Character on the Animated TV series the Jetsons, George Jones - Musician (White Lightning, He Stopped Loving Her Today, Yesterday's Wine), George Kirby - Comedian (The ABC Comedy Hour Presents the Kopycats), George Milton - Character in John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, George Patton - World War 2 US Army General, George Plimpton - Author (Paper Lion, Open Net, The Bogey Man), George Steinbrenner - MLB New York Yankees Team Owner, George Stephanopoulos - Televeision Journalist (This Week with George Stephanopoulos) and Former Political Advisor to US President Bill Clinton, George Takei - Actor (Star Trek, Heroes), George Weasley - Character in the Harry Potter books and movies, and George Wendt - Actor (Cheers).
An excellent mix of occupations for the top ten Georges with two US Presidents (Bush and Washington), one director (Lucas), one author (Orwell), three musicians (Michael, Harrison, and Straight), and three actors (Carlin, Lopez, Clooney).
In the top spot for this list was George Bush, which can refer to either the 41st or 43rd President of the United States. However, the name George Bush was more than twice as popular as George Washington, so at least one of them would take the number one spot.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the Georges on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.
