This reminds me of those days when I was still at sea calling into Capetown... what wonderful times I had then....... used to sail into port every month during the fruit season...... looks like the Taiwanese fishing fleet is gone...


Thanks...

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pics, especially of the wildlife. I'm so envious. (I see you and Aunty P were up to some monkey business. Groan. )




By the way, in post #3, that looked more like a variety of oryx to me.

Awesome stuff SQFG.

Did you use zoom or were you THAT close to the cheetahs?

They were that close. If they'd wanted to, they could've jumped into the truck and had us all for lunch

Thanks for sharing. You're lucky.
Interesting ...

Wow - awesome pictures! I'm going to get someone nagging at me as to why we didn't do this and why we didn't do that...

And finally, a picture dedicated to JHM

Local SA cuisine at its best!
