2013 OCEANIA - CAPE TOWN TO SINGAPORE
on hasbeen's travel map.
So, now we are docked in Richards Bay
heading north & we saw this , which you don't see everyday..
Not much to see in town which is very poor compared to Cape Town & a boring sort of ride out to the St. lucia wetlands in the hopes of seeing birds, Crocodiles & Hippos.
Went out on a river boat like this....
& knew there would not be much wildlife cos by the time we got there it was going on noon & HOT, HOT HOT.
Never mind. It as a little cooler moving on the water & we did see quite a lot of Hippos but no crocodiles & few birds.
Some people have spotted something..
Aboard the boat..
& more Hippo..
And a solitary Eagle of some kind... Fish Eagle, maybe...
This lady is holding a Hippo tooth. Hate to see their dental bills.
Everyone raves about South Africa & how beautiful it is & bits are certainly that, but I am not over-impressed. Can't seem to make up my mind if it is too artificial or not. Certainly would not like to live there & I think I have seen enough of it now & no need to go back.
Changing countries tomorrow - MOZAMBIQUE. I expect that to be somewhat different.
