The wreck of The Kakapo
We walked across the pure white sands of Noordhoek Beach. This is how it looked before we crossed it: . . . . and this is how it looked as we crossed it (watch this space for more about that guy on the left, with the sunglasses and black cap!). We inspected the remains of the wreck of the Kakapo and empathised with Captain Nicholayson, whose error parked the ship here on the beach in 1900. We were very forunate to see this beautiful "Early Blue Disa" (Disa purpurascens): Since i received a special...
Reminders of Sir Francis Drake’s visit to The Cape of Good Hope
In 1580 on his famous circumnavigation of the globe, Sir Francis Drake saw Cape of Good Hope and described it as the fairest Cape that he had seen in his entire journey. He MUST have been here on a day just like we experienced today! The Cape was beacialis online without prescriptionutiful beyond description. The temperature was a comfortable 200C and there was barely any wind. The sea was absolutely flat and the water was as clear as that in an aquarium.

Wild cape wander: Table Mountain, South Africa
Travelmag published this story “. . . the clothing, skull and bones of the soldier given up for lost on the 30th of last month were found at the extremity of the Lion Mountain, about 300 roods* from the beach. The cranium was half bitten off, so it is presumed that he was devoured by a lion” - journal entry of the governor of The Cape Colony, 12 September 1659. No longer do lions roam the foothills of Table Mountain but its proximity to the bustling urban fare of cosmopolitan Cape Town...
Picnic with whales
There are often beautiful days in Cape Town . . . and then there are days of heaven. Today was such a day, with mild temperatures of 20 deg C, cloudless skies and barely a breath of air.

Mike was particularly keen that we would see whales and other wildlife. He has traveled elsewhere three times in the vain hope of...
