Marievale Wetlands

Since everyone had arrived a day early Martin decided we would take a trip to Marievale Wetlands today instead of the next day.

We saw some lovely birds...our first flamingos, other waders and small birds. We stopped at 3 different bird hides and saw 77 different species in total!

On out way back to Jo'burg we called in at a supermarket to get food for lunch. There were men in highvis vests throughout the carpark. You can ask them to keep an eye on your vehicle and give them money when you get back to your vehicle. and they also help you back out. In the supermarket there was lots of security people. We chose things for lunch - sandwiches and wraps and drove back to the Lodge. We ate in the lovely gardens.

Then John and I walked to the nearby Korseman Reserve where we saw many different birds.

We dined at a restaurant nearby called Doppio Zero.Read more
