First a word of explanation. I write my blog on my iPad and because it relies on wifi for geolocation, it will continue to display the last location recorded while on wifi until it registers a new location from the next wifi registration. So if you get a series of emails saying the same location, it is because I am too lazy to change the data. Each day's blog is different, I can assure you. Last night,we went on a truly wonderful tour to see the leatherback and the loggerhead turtles. We left at 5:30 pm and drove through the Isimangaliso Wetland Park to Cape Vidal, a distance of 35 km and then drove the beach for a further 22 km. Isimangaliso was named a world heritage site in 1999 and is the largest estuaries system in Africa. Driving along the beach was quite magical as the stars were out and there was no light pollution. Near the end of the beach drive, we came across the track of a loggerhead turtle. The guide checked and sure enough, there was a female digging a hole for her eggs. She was having quite a time digging as the sand was not as wet as it should be due to the drought. Normally, she would have the hole dug and the eggs layer in about 30 minutes. We waited an hour and she still had not finished digging her hole. She looked exhausted! Time and tide constraints forced us to leave before she actually started laying the eggs. The return drive was amazing as our tour guide used a spotlight to show us animals on the way back. We saw 1 leopard, 5 genet cats, 2 bush babies, 4 rhino, 7 hippos, grey and red duiker, kudus, waterbuck, reedbuck, monkeys, wildebeest, Buffalo, Nyalla, warthog and 3 chameleon. The latter was amazing as we were driving along at 30 km an hour and the driver said oh there is a chameleon. He stopped and reversed to the plant on which the chameleon was sitting. None of us could see it until he picked it up. It was the size of his thumb and very beautiful. How he spotted it is beyond me! We got back to our B&B at 12:30am and needless to say fell asleep very quickly! Oh! It is true that the hippos roam the town at night. We saw several munching on grass as we approached the B&B. Today, we went on a short game drive in Isimangaliso and also did some sightseeing. We stopped at Mission Rock to look at the Indian Ocean and went to Mission Rock Lookout. In the afternoon, we did our boat tour looking at the hippos. We also saw many types of birds and a couple of small Nile crocodiles. As we were about to start the tour, an electric storm started and a very strong wind came up. In an hour, the storm gave up and we had flat calm and a great sunset. There was no shortage of hippos to see so we were, as the tour guide said " we were hippoed out!" After we had dinner, we discovered the electric storm had started again and it was raining lightly. Our tour guide told us he had not had any water at his house for more than 7 weeks. Tomorrow we head for Durban. It is about 250 km away.
