Crocs, kayaks, ponies and bridges





































We didn't spend all our time on the beach. We visited a commercial crocodile farm where we watched the huge beasts being fed with dead chickens, feathers and all, and held crocodile eggs as the babies pecked their way out. Jenny bought a small croc skull to display at home and later we cooked some croc meat on our braai - it was a bit fishy! We played crazy golf on the best and steepest course I have ever seen, hired canoes, the kids rode ponies and we all visited a wildlife park where we saw giraffes, springbok and other animals, crossed a suspension bridge, swam in a lake and climbed down a steep valley to see some caves once lived in by the San people. On two special evenings (Libby's 6th birthday and New Year's Eve) we had long delicious dinners at an Italian restaurant just round the corner and on two others, when we got home too late to cook, we had the best fish and chips ever from a British style Fish and Chip ship about half a mile away. Some of us put on a bit of weight!
