Getting ready for the big trip
2018年4月8日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
This is the day before we leave on the big trip.
Ironing, packing house cleaning and all that mundane stuff that has to be done before travelling.
Tomorrow is the day it all starts

Flight to Singapore
2018年4月9日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Damian joined us for a nice easy flight with Singapore Airlines. Arrived about 7:15, just after dark
Had a free transfer lined up as part of singapore stopover deal, but this was a big mess as the shuttle went missing. Grabbed a taxi and were at the hotel in 15 min. Checked in and went out for a quick bite. Then off for a good nights sleep. We're all ready for a great couple of days in good old Singers.
Hotel Royal @ Queens is fine for a basic hotel and in a great location.もっと詳しく

Woke up to great news.
We have been upgraded to premium economy for the Joburg leg. SA has a bid to upgrade system and we bid $200 each, well worth it!
Spent our first morning in Singas over in Little India then taxied across to Fort Canning for a look before walking down to Clarke Quay for lunch.
Had a rest then headed over to Marina Bay Sands for a trip up to the observation deck on top. Great views!
Over to La Pau Sat for some beers and satays then China town for more to eat.もっと詳しく

Journey to Africa
2018年4月12日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Today we took the 2 am flight to Joburg arriving about 6:30am after a 10 hour all night time flight. Thank goodness for premium economy.
Easy process through the airport then grabbed our hire car for the drive to Welgevonden.
Easy drive up the motorway then on to the turnoff to the Western Gate. Very rough gravel road for the last 16 km to the gate. Arrived at 1:00 pm then were transferred by game drive vehicle to Nungabane Lodge where we were welcomed by the entire staff of the lodge. We gave the afternoon drive a miss and went to our room after lunch for a welcome nap. Took a walk up to the hide at the lodge where we were lucky enough to see zebras, gnus, and then out of nowhere came a mother and baby rhino for a drink. Amazing sight!
The other guests at the lodge were a party of Germans. All quite friendly. Crashed into bed after dinner in anticipation of our 5:30 am wake up call for our first game driveもっと詳しく

Nungabane Day 2
2018年4月13日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Out of bed at 5:30 am for our first game drive. Very cold but had ponchos in the 4wd to keep us warm.
Great starting drive. Saw female lion walking down the road and right past the vehicle. Also rhinos, zebras, gnus, and assorted other animals.
Back for breakfast about 9 am then a rest before our afternoon drive.
Afternoon drive was amazing when we came across a herd of elephants that were browsing right on the edge of the road. Baby elephant only a couple of metres away and one female came right up to touch the truck with its trunk. Very scary for those in the back. At the end of the drive we were told that a lion pride was at a dam close by. We drove over and they were all on the dam wall. We could only see them by car headlights but was great just to see them.
Also saw rhinos resting on the side of the road as well as the usual assortment of other wildlife.もっと詳しく

Nungabane Day 3
2018年4月14日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Early morning drive was the highlight of the trip. We got see a pride of lions on a kill. There was male several females and cubs all only a couple of metres away. Absolutely awe inspiring!
Also saw rhino, giraffe and wilderbeast on the way back to the lodge. Meals at the lodge are lovely; two choices for mains!
Afternoon drive highlights were a great drive down a valley to a part of the park not been to before, and coming across a rhino with a 2 week old baby. Extremely cute and only a couple of metres away.
Also saw a group of giraffes on side of road.もっと詳しく

Trip to George
2018年4月15日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Today we sadly left the lodge and made our journey to George. We arranged an early transfer to the car at the park gate only to find the battery was flat. Luckily we got it started with the help of the manager and some passing locals. After some light hearted ribbing about ball tampering we were on our way. The trip to Joburg was ok except fot the local driving which can only be described as reckless.
The flight to George was late leaving but smooth until landing as George was fogged in. We got down but could easily have been diverted to Capet Town.
Picked up our hire car and had a foggy drive to the b&b. Chinese in town for tea. Very cheapもっと詳しく

Knysna Day 1
2018年4月16日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Today we left George for Knysna. First a trip into town to see St Mark's Cathedral where Louise's great great grandparents were married and a trip to the mall for sonne lunch supplies.
Then a drive along the 5 Passes Road to Knysna with a side trip to a national park. A nice drive but not quite as good as it was made out to be.
Arriving in Knysna we went straight to our B&B the Falcons View Manor. This is a beautiful old mansion set high on the hill overlooking Knysna and the bay. Spectacular views and a great room.
After booking in went for drive out to the heads. Caught the sunset and views of the entry into the bay. Tea was at an amazing seafood restaurant down by the bay. Very cheap by our standards and very tasty!!.もっと詳しく

Knysna Day 2 - Trip to Storms River.
2018年4月17日, 南アフリカ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Started our day (8th wedding anniversary) with a delightful breakfast in the garden ar Falcons View B&B. Decided to travel down to Storms River which is a national park area with a deep river ravine straddled by a suspension bridge. It was a pretty hard walk to the bridge but worth it as the ocean thunders all around the entrance and then mellows as it enters the ravine entrance. Lots of German tourists about who looked in poor shape for the walk but to their credit, soldiered on. Returning to Knysna we stopped for a refreshing strawberry, mint and lime cocktail at the Plettenberg hotel. Another vast and beautiful view. Sadly, like most of the Australian East coast the level of ugly developments in this part of the Garden Route is disappointing. Surprised and unhappy to see quite a few shanty towns as we drove along. The Africans resourcefully build little huts from timber offcuts and whatever offers protection from the elements. It's a pretty poor state of affairs for some of these folk. Tonight Mr T and Moi are having a special meal at our B& B which is apparently renowned for same!!!!もっと詳しく
