Wednesday Afternoon and Evening, March 7 This is a sign that those who speak Afrikaans will understand – something about the huge baobab tree I expect. A giant baobab tree that is estimated to be 2,000 years old. It does make me think – if it is indeed 2,000 years old – it was here […]
Wednesday Afternoon, March 7 As we drove out the lane after brunch, we were pleased to see several waterbuck grazing with the rhinos. We learned to know their identity because of the marking on their butt. It looks like they sat on a painted toilet. 🙂 I like this picture because of the rhino ears. […]

Wednesday Morning, March 7 I learned to make French press coffee while in South Africa – because that is what was available in our chalet. I enjoyed the mornings when the men were out hunting, because that gave me time to relax on our porch – read my devotional book “In a Pit With a […]

Tuesday, March 6 Moholoholo is in a beautiful location in the shadow of the Drakensberg mountain range. There was an entire flock of marabou storks in the driveway. I am not sure if they live here or flew in for the day. A beautiful Bird of Paradise flower near our parking spot. There was an […]
Tuesday, March 6 Our first animal sighting for the day (female nyala) happened when it was still dark – while Cerwin and I were sitting on the porch of our chalet enjoying our first cup of coffee. Later – during our second cup of coffee – we saw a few warthogs. At the main house […]
Monday, March 5 This is how the guys hunted from a tree blind – near a water hole – looking for a warthog for Jared and a Impala for Ian. Meanwhile back at the farm I enjoyed watching the monkeys running away from the kitchen area where they came for left-over food and things that […]
Monday, March 5 Cerwin and the guys set their alarms early in preparation for a hunt. I woke slightly when Cerwin’s alarm went off. I fell back to sleep and dreamt that I flew home because I forgot a pair of shoes. I found myself at church with people who were surprised that I was […]
Sunday Evening, March 4 Our welcome committee. I think this is Jethro and Sally – as Gus is old and slow and is probably still somewhere in the background. All three are Jack Russell mixes. One of the first things we did was get acquainted with our chalets. They are numbered 1 through 4. We […]
Sunday, March 4 We were up early to meet our Uber drivers at 6:30 am and say goodbye to the wind, sand, and beautiful beach of Muizenberg We drove by several townships where some of the poorest people in the Cape Town area live – in buildings that do not even look livable. 🙁 Sunrise […]
Saturday Evening, March 3 Knead has this creative bike rack in front of their restaurant. This was very close to our hotel. Our waitress said her name is Sibongib – from Zimbabwe. This was on the back of each staff person’s shirt. Restaurants on a beach usually have a casual atmosphere. This one also had […]
Saturday, March 3 We had breakfast on an outside patio at a restaurant near our hotel. We called two Uber drivers to take us to Table Mountain. Yes, we had to get used to the driver being on the right and driving on the left side of the road. Josh making sure Jared had suntan […]
Friday, March 2 Scenes along the streets of Muizenberg as we walked to Friday’s Market for supper. Inge – this photo and the next are for you. 🙂 Entering Bluebird Garage where a variety of scents and sounds greeted us. Cerwin isn’t real brave with new tastes, so he was hoping to find familiar food […]
