Winding down.

The Island from Across the river

There are two tiny paragliders in this picture.

Our time is coming to an end here in Sedgefield, tomorrow we head off to Caledon and then up to the airport on the 15th to catch the overnight flight home.
The past few days have been good, we have left the car behind and gone exploring first in the Wilderness National park with a peaceful walk where we only met a few people so it was quiet enough to stop and actually see and hear the wildlife. The walk itself crossed and recrossed the small river and we ended up at a dry waterfall (South Africa is experiencing the driest year for over 150 years and if things do not improve they are looking at turning off the taps in Cape Town on 22nd April)

No waterfall but a nice place to cool off.

Yesterday we went up to the paragliding launch site to watch loonies jumping of a cliff but the views from up there of Sedgfield were gorgeous.

The Island Sedgefield.

Sedgefield town on the left.

Isn't that gorgeous.

Then we went for a stroll along the river and around The Island which is a posh area with what seem to be mostly holiday homes and you can see why. It was peaceful and pleasant to stroll along and chat to the fishermen but at one point there were a couple of kids having a whale of a time splashing in the shallows and I found myself puposefully not looking at them, isn't it awful the way our lives are ruled by political correctness.



In the afternoon we ended up walking along the beach for a couple of hours and if I wakeup early enough tomorrow I will go down there to catch the sunrise
