The sun comes up early! Woke up 5:30 but of course last night we went to bed relatively early and the electricity had gone off around 7pm (came back on around 8:30pm but by then we were ready for bed).
End of a lovely Sabbath.
 |
| Yes, wow....was someone bored? |
 |
| The Addo Elephant park where we're headed, is right above the Port Elizabeth name (and Algoa bay) on the map (also known as PE) |
 |
| Leaving Knysna and continuing up the coast on a beautiful Sabbath morning |
 |
| SA's don't think twice about the mixing of languages in one sentence/phrase! Here is "Piesang Valley Rd" which is "Banana Valley" rd. It really should read "Piesang Vallei Pad" |
 |
| Coming into Plettenberg Bay |
 |
| Watch out for falling rocks! |
 |
| View of Plett |
 |
| Plenty to do around Plett |
 |
| Jungle |
 |
| Nature's Valley |
 |
| Poor jellyfish |
 |
| We crossed the river, here running into the sea |
 |
| Nature's Valley from up the valley... |
 |
| Jungle/Wilderness |
 |
| A LONG way down! |
 |
| Please don't slip or fall |
The main bird you hear in this clip is the 'Piet-my-vrou' (you also hear me calling it once)
 |
| These kids seem quite cheerful even stuffed into a hot, cramped rear truck canopy (camper) |
 |
| They were happy I was going to take their picture. |
 |
| Really? (someone is sneaking photos of me!) |
 |
| Breakwater concrete in Port Elizabeth |
 |
| Yay, our destination |
 |
| The sea is just over these dunes |
 |
| Dungbeetle? |
 |
| We were to stay at Camp Matyholweni ("Ma-tol-WEH-nee") |
 |
| Registration building |
 |
| Our self-catering cottage |
 |
| Since we arrived just after midday, we immediately did a drive into the park |
 |
| Saw plenty of these 'lovely' creatures... |
 |
| Piggy has to get as close to the grass as possible |
 |
| This little buck was lying quietly in the grass, not moving a muscle. |
 |
| Hey, turn around please! |
 |
| A leopard tortoise or something. |
 |
| Dung beetles have right of way! (see sign later) |
 |
| Cape Buffalo (bad tempered animals usually) |
 |
| Kudu |
 |
| Bye-bye |
 |
| Entrance station |
 |
| Eating supper on our deck |
 |
| Hmmm, shoulda known some uninvited guests would show up! |
 |
| They know where the kitchen is! |
 |
| Moon rise |
