Today we drove to WCNP to view the wildflowers and wildlife.

The trip took us along the Atlantic coast and the surf was rough.

Cameron and Brook were keen to find the wildlife

Ostrich was sighted first followed by Eland,Gemsbok Bontebok,Springbok,Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Cape Mountain Zebra, Red Harteebeest and Angulate Tortoise.

Abundant birdlife as well.

The wildflowers were ….well they were everywhere and a photo can’t convey the beauty that one sees.

Brook needed to buy postcards and check the stores where she was going to buy gifts.
