Hi everyone, well once again sorry, but we have been in an area which has no access! We have just spent 4 wonderful nights at Rocktail Bay Lodge on the coast quite close to the Mozambique border.

It was fabulous, only thing is that we didn't get to go diving, BUT two nights ago I was holding a wee baby leatherback turtle. Amazing, we went out three nights in a row trying to see any turtles either laying eggs or any hatchlings coming out and on our last night we were lucky.

There was about 100 of the little guys all making for the surf. It all happens so quick though from the time they break out of the nest till the time they enter the water can be a maximum of 10 minutes.

We are on our way back to the Drakensburg mountains now to Monks Cowl for some hiking. Hopefully we will have better luck with the weather, at the moment it is 33 degrees and we only have about 2 hours to go.

I will try and get back on once we get there, but just in case there is no signal I thought I would quickly put on some news for you all.

Love and hugs to all xxx
