Africa Wild

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

l'Algulhas's lighhouse

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

Love the mouse or rat or gerbil or whatever it might be

The Blue passion flower looks lovely, but is an invasive alien

Bontebok
I know my English is not... but it seems it was ok

we decided, with Michele, it was a Gerbil

Beautiful! I assumed it was Bontebok Park...

Your English is fine, nana...better than my French, for example!
