Home Sweet Home

Well here i am back home and this time it looks like for at least 3 months.
I got home on Saturday morning and gave Chase his new Surf board, but he so full of flu at the moment he can only look at it.
On Sunday Chase went to Kingwilliams  town for final Boarder field hockey trials, and he is in, CONGRATULATIONS my boy well done.

Well me all I am going to do is rest and try get some diving in hope fully the sea will play and clean up.
Winter is definitely here very cold in the morning, warmish during the day and freezing at night.

If any thing happens whilst I am home I will post, stay close I am around.

Hlehluwe - Durban

Well the boarder post was easy and no trouble, Its always a concern as I have had problems in the past, St Lucia was a great stay fresh fish, and awesome beaches and people.
the boat cruise was good got close to some hippos and 2 crocks we also got really close to a fish eagle.
Hlehluwe was a little quieter than the last visit in Feb but got some lovely sightings.
the drive down to Durban was awesome I all ways love this stretch as it is like coming home the lovely warm water clean air and this time thanks to the taxi strike the roads were clear driving around the city was so easy.
We went to the Durban botanical gardens and were welcomed with a flock of white Pelicans taking of was really pretty.
Today is a day of rest and I got to walk around the Gateway mall, wow, I am all ways taken with this place.
Tomorrow we leave to fly to PE and on to Knysna, I hear the weather is very cold and wet not looking forward to that but it is that time of the year down there.

Swaziland over

Well we did the Kruger at 6:00 am and the guests where rewarded with some nice encounters, a white rhino approached the vehicle for some great shots, a smallish heard of Elephant with lots of smallies, Giraffe and Zebra. Due to burning in large areas not many buck and no Cats where seen, we still have Hlehluwe. Swaziland was an easy visit, we had drinks in the bar till they decided to bring in a DJ who only new one volume setting so all had an early dinner which was great. Sadly the Disco attracted all sorts from the area and around 4am drunk people started screaming down the hall ways trying all doors, eventually the security came and that ended up in a struggle.
Arriving back in South Africa was great to be in Northern  Natal love this warm weather.
Tomorrow we are on a boat cruise then into Hlehluwe lets hope for some great sightings.
