Sunday 8 February 2009

Well I'm still having trouble attaching photos to my posts at the moment. Will try again after I tell you all about todays day! We left the Fernery at around 9.30am which is a little too late really, we will have to both be a bit more on the ball tomorrow as it is a much longer day!

We headed towards East London, this is really just a transiting stop on the way to the Drakensburg. Tomorrow will be the same. I will try and phone you Kirsty to see if your around and whether we can get to see you. We will be making our way to Port Shepstone tomorrow and then onto the Drakensburg.

So today we started off by stopping at J-Bay (Jeffrey's Bay) to see if a particular camp shop was open to get a new chair, but being Sunday they were closed. Nevertheless we got a photo of J-Bay as it is where the Billabong Pro Series International Surf Championships are held every year around June/July - apparently they have a very good tube run then.

Carried on and stopped just after King Williams Town at a garage for toilets, fuel, food and some lunch. Our campsite is about 23 km after East London on a river called Areena Riverside Resort which is on the Kwelera River - quite a beautiful site, but would be a nightmare in the school holidays I think.

We have had ostrich, nyala and peacocks visit us when I was cooking dinner. And now we can hear lions while having our coffee with amarula!! Its pretty cool.

Hope everyone is managing to get by with all the snow in the UK??? We are very glad we are here, although our day varied alot in temperature today, starting out at about 28 Degrees, getting up to 33 in places and as low as 23 degrees close to the sea.

Whilst I was cooking dinner Martin walked around the side of the trailer to get something and walked straight into an ostrich - what a laugh as they are looking him in the eye not like most of us - made him jump and me laugh!!!

Will try and attach a photo or two now as always love and hugs and kisses to all xxx
