PEBBLE BEACH





We have just left PETA and Chris, Friend Lynn's sister and her husband, who run the Pebble Beach B & B pear the most southern tip of Africa. Our rooms had lovely water views of waves from the Indian and Atlantic Oceans crashing on the rocks. The biggest town is called Cape Agulhas, meaning needles because a compass needle points straight north here. Today we stopped in Bredesdorp to visit the only shipwreck museum in the world, as so many ships were wrecked going around Cape of Good Hope here.































Chris is from SA near J'burg and PETA from Capetown but they met in London 40 or so years ago. They have two daughters, one of whom just had their first grandchild, a little girl. They are trying to sell the B& B and will live in another house they built nearby so they can travel more. They were delightful hosts to us and the two German guests from Nuremberg.











We spent the day, after a delicious huge breakfast reading and relaxing in our rooms. Then we headed for a bird sanctuary, stopping many times along the way to spot and identify birds. Randy and Pat are serious birders. me not so much. We saw lots of guinea fowl, crows, quail type and white flamingos. By the time we got to the De Monday Reserve by the shore, it was after 5 and they were closed. We stopped for dinner of fish for me and Ostrich again for Randy. Chris had wine and lots of animals-in-the bush stories when we got back.
