Rondevlei 11.10.2012
We gather our breath in Cape Town. We went to visit Rondevlei nature reserve. Pretty sea/lagoon filled with seabirds and others, that "Captonien" have to well know. We met a lady who saw a Boomslang ... and even photographed

Hermanus 12.10.2012
The next day, we went to Hermanus, the weather is fine, a bit windy, but a good day to try to see whales (Southern Right Whale - Baleine franche) ... another first for me
They are waiting for us. A mother and her little ... little ... at few meters
they never wanted to put the head out or hit the water with tail, naughty but it is a wonderful experience for me
with the baby

Re: Cape Town and around
While we picnic, still watching whales, a creature was busy shaving the yellow flowers all around us
A Dassie applies on the prone and crawling, to eat all yellow flowers, and only yellow flowers
When we left ... there was no more, than the green lawn
