L: I woke up early (S: and went Tweeting}. I found lots of little birds in the early sunshine and a kingfisher too and well as a pair of donkeys getting very frisky in the spring morning.

It's the chore day so off to the laundry where we put our load on and went for a walk on the beach .

S: There were a few guys fishing and some chaps were collecting bait worm to sell to fishermen. They can make up to R300 in 3 hours so it is very lucrative for those without formal employment. It is very tough on the hands, they can't wear gloves as then they cannot feel the worms.

L: At lunchtime, we left to fetch Aunty May to take her to lunch and enjoyed a pizza/pasta meal.

We spent a few hours with her, catching up and filling her in on our family news and our plans for our long trip, driving from Cape Town to Cairo to London, leaving in April 2014. We showed her a few of our pics and popped in at her home before leaving her for our camp site and catching up with the blog. We were entertained by our resident yellow mongoose this morning and in the afternoon.

We enjoyed a drink and listening to the local musician in the camp lounge.

Off to bed now.........Baviaanskloof here we come.
