8+9.10.2014
Depart for L'Agulhas and Bontebok where we will spend the next two nights. Imperative stop at Hermanus, where Whales make a show ... a little show, in freezing cold and pouring rain.
The rain hardly leaves that day and will play tricks shortly before Algulhas. An especially smooth and muddy road made us change our plans. We will spend the next two nights at Bontebok ... which is a stone's throw (several hours !)...
thank you, Michele, for all these km of driving, and the slides control
Two Fish Eagles are still laughing
At least, I have seen the lighthouse
Southern Right Whale/Baleine franche
l'Algulhas's lighhouse
African Fish Eagle/Pigargue vocifère

Bontebok is a very pretty little park.
The camp and cabins are friendly.
The clouds are going gradually, it will remain no more at all in the morning... when we will leave
Never, I had so many new birds during these travel, thanks to Michele

Re: The return
some new mammals and cool bird sightings
Love the mouse or rat or gerbil or whatever it might be
The Blue passion flower looks lovely, but is an invasive alien
Were are we?
