Checking out is made, we enjoy photographing some Rock Martins, for once are placed on the edge of the reception building. The girl who was to accompany us, is already gone with another car.

We stop on the R360 at Molopo for a coffee ... I prefer to leave nicely, without haste.
This is a heartbreak for me
A Speckled Pigeon is calling from the top of a palm tree ... certainly the only one in the region.

The road, with heat, seems to disappear on the horizon, and then appear a saline and the first signs of the city.

saline... salt...

Tonight we sleep in Brown Manor, a beautiful Guest House along the Orange River. Great view, beautiful garden where lawn mowers are ... Springboks. The same Speckled Pigeon welcomes us and breeding ducks, dressed all in white.

The owner picks up his vehicle, it is necessary to make an arrangement for the defective refrigerator and said he will look at.
Then he has to go to the airport to catch a girl. It's Katja (Denmark) with whom we will have a drink and, above all, will begin his stay in the park the next day
Tonight we will "gueuletoner" with my friends, a treat, Judit has put the small dishes in the large. Thank so much

I know... not interesting... but makes a post to put more pictures

A good P'tit Déj to try to start this special day. Then make a coucou to my friends, some last photos. My nephew has a chance to see a Jacobin Cuckoo and Mousebirds. For me it shall be Squirrels, a Beetle, a male Peacock which protects itself from the sun, flowers, a young Fish Eagle flying over the river and then Sacred Ibis, a Black Kite, a Cape Wagtail on the edge the pool, a Frog to be saving from drowning in the same pool, a Fiscal Flycatcher.

The hour of departure arrived, one transport us at the airport. As usual, problem of place on the plane for the baggage containing cameras ... which ends up in the hold
Farewell to the Orange River, majestic rivers in the middle of this arid landscape
