I really enjoy it every time that I come here😊 I always learn something new or see something different than I used to. The post office tree is absolutely beautiful and I love the story and history behind the shoe. If you're a geocacher or someone that loves history then this is the place for you. I think this shoe inspired the whole geocaching thing and it's so cool because I live in Mossel Bay. I wish they had the actual shoe tho. Highly recommend visiting

It’s a great stop especially for children and tourists to teach them about the history of South Africa. The tree itself is magical and majestic! The museum complex around it has points of interest as well as a great exhibition of the celebration off 500 years of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrival in 1988.

There isn't too much info at the venue except a "legendary" story of a letter beibg posted at this tree. I have taken groups to this venue and it seems that as a guest I was more informed about the scenery than the so called guides. If I had worked here I would have at least done some research on the surroundings (anyone can use the internet nowadays!) There is even free wi fi spots in town so all you need is a wi fi capable device and there you go! Other that that the area is maintained...
