Well back from Africa, first A BIG THANK YOU to Ali for keeping an eye on things while we were away. Now for the bad news, I was suppose to be judging at South of England Gundog today but have been struck down with the lurgy and feeling quite ucky!!! But the web feet are coming on nicely since i have been home.
Just afew pics from our holiday (dont want to bore you all) but South Africa is just so beautiful, we went around the eastern and western cape area. Our friends live in Knysna and they met us in Cape Town and it was straight up Table Mountain, the view was fantastic, after that a walk around the sea front in Cape Town it was then a drive back to Stellenbosch to some self catering accommodation and a Braai for tea (a bbq) beautifully cooked over the woodfire. At the accommodation we had Zebra, Wildebeast, Springbok and Elan all around us.
Then after 2 nights here it was the long drive back to Knysna, what a drive that was. We stopped off at Hermanus for a spot of Whale(southern right whales) watching and we weren't disappointed. One of the most amazing and in away spiritual things that i have ever seen. They come in so close and put their heads out of the water, like they are watching us watching them. We had a mother, her calf and an juvenile come right in, tail slapping, just fantastic. In total there must have been 15-20 of them in the bay. And to think that man nearly hunted these creatures to extinction. Back in the car and the drive through the winelands around the Cape to Knysna and to Tony & Barb's home. Also a pic of Wildness Bay and a Brackish water lake with mountains cant think of it's name. Will do part 2 later!!!!
