(please excuse any spelling errors i am speed typing...and lazy..)
hello my little lovelies! we have now been on the road a week and are loving it! its so scorching here most days but night times are quite cool we are realising that perhaps we don't have as much practical gear as we should...but hey...
Since i last wrote we have been up to quite a lot! our first day on the road we spent ducking in and out of wineries in Stellenbosch along the garden route I mostly wandered around the lovely grounds LP did sample some but un-surprisingly was not much of a fan...we got to visit a cheetah sanctuary that had Cheetahs captured rather then destroyed after eating livestock its a breeding programme as well so lots of cubs so cute! also theres little kittens all over the show they wont let me cuddle them though!that night we set up camp and sat looking up at the ...clouds...when the stars are out they are so bright!...
next day we headed into Stellenbosch town its a uni town so lots of students we wandered round for a while then headed to the edge of town where there is a nature reserve there we saw loads of birds and three tortoises and a heap of lizards...
the next day it was back on the road first stop was Betty's bay and a penguin colony they were everywhere! so cute waddling around like drunk old men.. my favourite is when they run really fast then fall over we spent a good while just laughing at (with?) them!then it was back on track to Hermanus "the worlds best land based whale watching"only all we saw was the water from a blowhole...we did see two chameleons and i got to hold one! also we have seen Dassies everywhere including babies at the penguin colony they are so friggin cute i cant catch one though despite numerous efforts!...that night we were bush camping complete with poo pit but was so lovely having a tent in the middle of nowhere we walked up a big hill and sat and watched the sunset the colours were amazing...
next day we roasted as we walked over the dunes onto the beach and a long slog into town we saw whales along the way which was lovely! when we got to town cold drinks were a necessity after which we headed back to the water where i swam in my knickers and bra it was so hot the water was coldish but crystal clear and there were fish all over the show...that night back at camp we saw our first snake yay! it was long long long a mole snake we have been told!...
next day we rolled out of camp and were on the road about 3 hours till we reached the southern most tip of Africa Cape Alguhas it was sooooo ridiculously windy there so we didn't spend to much time by the beach instead heading to the campsite and pitching up i got quite bad hay fever so retired to the tent... whilst LP went to watch Cricket in the bar...
Next day our first long day in the truck about 7 hours total not much other then being in the truck we did however see our first elephant and Baboons and i sampled oysters for the first time raw with Tabasco i actually quite liked them...
today we saw some sweet bids at camp they were lorries (unsure of spelling here) and also a mother and baby bush buck right behind our tent! the wildlife here is amazement everyday we see something new it blows my mind today we are having a town day Internet, money changing, postcards then this arvo we are off to play golf...in our jandals...
