Re: The aliens on a road trip
When I was there, it was not at all gloomy and not very windy either. It was a beautiful place and the camping was busy only with day visitors on Sunday
It was during the second week of January

Re: The aliens on a road trip
Usually during December the camping area are packed to capacity. Strange to see a spot open for more than a few hoursLisbeth wrote:When I was there, it was not at all gloomy and not very windy either.

Re: The aliens on a road trip
We left Stormsriver with a sad feeling but we knew our next part of the trip will be new planets to visit so also very excited.
We stopped over in George to get fresh groceries. That took longer than I thought
After booking in at the reception we started with the 6km dirt road towards the park. Not sure why they wasted their time with putting up 50km/h boards because the people fly past you leaving you in a cloud of dust every few minutes.
Our first stop was the southern most tip of AFRICA

We finally arrived at camp and unpacked.
Our view over the sea for the next 4 nights

We drove down to the lagoon to explore

The view back to the camp



Our first sunset from planet Agulhas

Re: The aliens on a road trip
It really is beautiful there.
Our marine fish tank filter makes foam like that 'Amarula'...that's how it gets all the impurities out of the water.

Re: The aliens on a road trip
Beautiful position and view
We went to Agulhas and tried to get into the park to have a look around, but no entrance if you do not have an over night booking

Re: The aliens on a road trip
Interesting stuff again, Alpheus!
You know it is windy when the huts have to have cables tying them down?
Looks quite larney and private!
There is an Agulhas Park thread somewhere!
