THE KAKAMANIAN

Despite the serious number of beds in our chalet, Jessie decided that she HAD to join me in the huge King sized bed in the main suite..It was fine as it was so vast,and we both woke when the light poured in through our window and couldn’t wait to see where we were.

What a treat.

The Lodge behind the central Milk wood tree

WE had to be back at the Lodge for 8.30 as our whale watching excursion began at 9.00 ,so we followed the Lodge mini bus in “The Shiny One” [re named Tuareg..explanations later, as the car was most definitely not “shiny” at this point]

I’m just going to post a load of pictures now, the whale watching expedition was one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had. Jessie and I just smiled and smiled for the entire 2 hour trip.

After getting back to dry land we did a pit stop in the local [and incredibly well stocked supermarket] as we had planned on making Thai green curry that night. On our way through Stanford we stopped and pottered through the quaint shops,and I found and purchased a pair of lovely brass ashtrays for a ridiculously small amount of money. They seemed very topical and I was amused to see “MADE IN SCOTLAND” impressed upon the reverse. David are they art noveaux?

There were some very lovely antique and junk shops and we decided that I really ought to bring a lorry next time I come down.

Back to Mosaic farm, and we were called upon by the Lodge guests to see if we wanted to join them for a sun downer on the beach...Never ones to miss such an offer, we abandoned our shopping and jumped in the safari vehicle. “0 minutes of driving through the dunes covered in Fynbos and we stopped as there was a Carycle standing on the sand track. I had never heard let alone seen one of these creatures before, sandy in colour and the size of a medium sized dog they are stunning members of the cat family. Almost hunted to extinction because of their habit of eating lambs, serious meat eaters!
