The lounge where I am writing tonights blog! What a view!!
Our day began in Addo at 5.45am where we got up and did a game drive. It was very misty and so not many animals were visable. We headed back to the cottage to collect our belongings and headed out again at 9am after checking out. We drove through the park to join the N2 motorway and this time saw a large herd of elephant, warthog, kudu, bushbuck, various birds and tortoise.
We stopped at Storms River and L managed to do the 1.5 hour walk to the Suspension bridge over the Storms River mouth in record time, making it there and back in 40 minutes! The Tsitsikama National Park is stunning and well worth a stop over if you are in the area. (There are many cabins onsite.)

We made it in to the Knysna Elephant Park at 4pm and have had an amazing afternoon interacting with the elephant. We have been for a walk with them and bottle fed the baby elephant their night time 4litres of milk. As I type they are lying down and asleep. The adults are milling about eating Port Jackson leaves and slowing quitening down for the night.
Right now sleep sounds like an excellent idea as we have another early start tomorrow. L is going to ride an elephant at sunrise!!
Wow. Mindblowing Mum says. I dont know if she meant the animals seen on your drive, feeding the baby elephant, the hotel room, Leanne's quick walk (amasing), the photo of L and cL with the huge elephant (the one on the right??? not the one with the big smile).
ReplyDeleteAll sounds and looks great, cL looks happy too. I'm sure B would look the same. Can we see a photo of you too? Thank you for L's opportunity and the joy you are bringing to us as we follow your prgress. Love and Blessings to BcL and L from Mum and Dad H.
