Dullstrom, South Africa

We spent the next two nights at a fishing lodge in the country. It was lovely and set amongst pine trees. Alex and I had a fishing lesson when we arrived with a man called Oopa. He taught us to fly fish, which I found really challenging. Luckily, Alex caught a huge trout which they cooked for our dinner.

On day two in Dullstroom we had another fishing lesson. I didn’t catch anything, but Alex caught another trout. After breakfast we went into the main town and visited a birds of prey sanctuary. It was very interesting and had lots of different owls, vultures and eagles. In the evening we had no power for three hours (due to load shedding) but we cooked a barbecue in the dark.Read more
