A day out to see the flowers

We decided that we had had enough of lockdown and needed to break away
Kgalagadi is still 2 months away so we took a day trip to Postberg
We left home at 7.30 and arrived at the queue to get into the park at just after 9am
We took about 45 minutes to get into the park.
First up we headed to the bird hide on the access road to Geelbeck
Just some pics along the way

There wasn't too much going on in the hide, and we didn't stay too long as others were wanting to come in as well (social distancing and all that )
We did see some birdies though
After that, we had a great breakfast at the Geelbek restaurant and set off to Postberg itself
Before we head off to Postberg, Debbie also had a flamingo pic

It looks like a beautiful day and it must have been great to breathe lots of fresh air in beautiful surroundings. It is a lovely place

Thanks Lisbeth, it was a stunning day after a cold and stormy week in the Cape.

Klipspringer, yes it was very busy. We got there early and those arriving later had a wait in excess of 2 hours just to get in.
We left at about 2pm and the cars were still queuing to get in

It looks stunning there

What a great photo of Debbie! A flower among flowers
Postberg is really fabulous in this season; a pity that it is so short

Astounding pic of Debbie, Gavin!
Is this West Coast Park?
