on the way back we stopped in Glen Reenen to go on one of the hikes. We started and climbed the stairs but as you could see that the hikes were going further up and it seemed to be an ordeal to carry the heavy camera all the way, we turned around.
Another bird on my wish list was the ground woodpecker. As I knew it had been seen in camp, I wanted to go around and have a look but only residents may enter the camp. Nonetheless we took a short break on the bench behind reception and saw more bearded vultures

we returned to the chalet at about 2:30 pm and saw this little grasshopper near the parking lot

and mountain reedbuck
we finished the evening with another braai and today we had a fire as well while we were watching another thunderstorm.

we went in March already, Mel. If I had known ...Mel wrote:Sensational, that bearded vulture on Langeoog! But why do you go to Golden Gate to see them then?
The scenery is just stunning! Particularly that Blesbok Loop shot.
And after that weekend at the Baltic Sea, I don't believe in clouds in the north anymore.
The rest of the republic was suffering of much worse weather than we did up there, it seems.
Btw, I looked into Scharbeutz and Timmendorfer Strand for next year... Don't think that's going to happen... Those places seem a
bit posh.
