We decided to take a drive eastward along the coast –
.
To Betty’s Bay and the fantastic penguin colony-
.
You walk along a raised wooden platform through the colony and the birds just ignore you and carry on with their lives –
.
It’s hard to believe these birds are truly wild and we are invading their space and not visa versa.
.
This guy was a little rusty –
.
But his mate seemed ok –
.
They have been given artificial breeding ” holes ” alongside those they dig themselves –
.
Some of the rock formations are quite stunning –
.
The we came across these 3 cheeky chaps –
.
.
.
Then left the penguins enjoying life –
.
We then went a little further along the coast to –
.
Which was an oasis cultivated in the scrub at the base of the mountains. The views were splendid –
.
Similar to Kirstenbosch but on a smaller scale so I’ll not bore you with more pictures of flowers –
.
We saw some stunning wildlife like this Orange Breasted Sunbird –
.
Gordon spotted this stick insect in the flowerbeds –
.
And another magnificent dragonfly –
.
Then stopped at a local potters to buy a bowl –
.
Great day.
It’s one of those days tomorrow so probably not a lot to write about – 🏌️ ⛳️ 🏌🏼♀️.
