document.write("Reading this article, I can't help wondering if there's an alternate Knysna that I visited this weekend.<br /><br />\"Festival-goers spill out of restaurants onto pavements lit up by strings of colourful lights. Traffic moves at a snail's pace through thongs of brightly-attired cyclists and children buzz around town; high on the excitement of carnival rides and too much candyfloss\"<br /><br />There was absolutely no traffic from Friday - Monday morning. The restaurants all closed at 10pm, which is pretty shoddy considering it's supposed to be a festival. The carnival was a collection of cheap chinese knockoffs and stalls selling tazers and knives. NOT what one would expect from a family-oriented event. The battle of the bands had an audience of maybe 250 people. <br /><br />Everyone told us the festival would be crazy, that the traffic up there would be madness but Knysna was DEAD. The waterfront was dead. The roads were empty. When we arrived we were told 'no, it only gets exciting on the 9th of July'<br /><br />What's the point of starting it on the 4th, if it only gets exciting 5 days later? And what is the point of having a festival in a place where everyone is so unfriendly?<br /><br />This was my first festival and I will NEVER go back.. Justine");
