NZ's South African Adventure

Saturday, August 11, 2007



Having a day off on Friday was great. We decided to throw caution to the wind, and visit Hermanus in the squalling weather. It is a fantastic drive along the east side of False Bay...check out the pictures and at one point we saw a fin sticking out of the water, so we stopped and saw a seal waving at us. We drove on determined to see some huge mammals and were not disappointed when we got to Walker (Texas Ranger) Bay. As we parked the car and got battered by the wind we immediately spotted a Souther Right Whale in the harbour. What a glorious sight! We watched patiently after a nice lunch and saw a number of breaches (when the whale almost completely jumps out of the water) and also some tale wagging. This was just amazing.
On another note, we are celebrating two birthdays today, Katy obviously as well as Auntie Lisa's back in Winnipeg. Hope your day is super and filled with Kielke! Katy has already spent her birthday money from grandpa and grandma in Winnipeg on clothes at the Canal Walk shopping center. Tonight we're off for Mexican Food.
