To the University.
20-Jul-15The Birthplace of J.R.R. Tolkien.
17-Jul-15buy Lyrica usa June 27th. Bloomfontein. Bloomfontein is different from the other places we have seen; a large, sprawling city, with more middle-class homes than we have seen anywhere else. Much of it looks like the middle-class suburbs of Los Angeles: sundrenched gardens made leafy by ample water, gardens closed off by attractive walls of adobe and concrete, […]
Ellyphants.
17-Jul-15June 26th. We made it to Graaff-Reinett, a pretty little town in the Karoo. We are staying at a lovely bed and breakfast, where we were greeted with a glass of sherry and shown to our big four-poster bed. I’m in the tub now. As usual the place is empty, though it’s Friday night and […]
Leaving Addo.
16-Jul-15Leaving the park we quickly went into the town of Addo to get some gasoline. The gas station was swamped, with hundreds of people: they were all lined up at the two ATMs, chattering away. Stores in the small town were also open, past five p.m., which is not normal. Trying to bring the car […]
In the Peaceable Kingdom.
16-Jul-15June 26th. Well, we came to Addo for the Elephants, and we got them: they are everywhere here.

On Safari.
13-Jul-15It’s hard to hide behind a tree if you’re an elephant.
Under the Stars at Addo.
13-Jul-15June 25th. We drove in the declining evening from Jeffrey’s Bay to Addo Elephant National Park, getting a bit lost in the outskirts of Port Elizabeth, but eventually arriving. And now we are here, at the main camp, staying in a plastered mud hut with a thatched roof and nice detailing – safari chic, they […]
Down to the Indian Ocean.
09-Jul-15We stopped in Jeffrey’s Bay, a surfing town. We saw our first white waitresses here – all others had been black. Afterwards we went down to the Indian Ocean – a cool day, and not ideal for swimming, but we just stood there on the beach, letting the water wash over our feet, and looked […]
The Big Tree of Tsitsikamma.
08-Jul-15The area around Knysna on the African coast is unusual, because it supports true forest: the majority of South Africa is savannah, whether grassy savannah in the interior or the bushy savannah they call fynbos at the Cape. But this was real forest, and even where the original forest has been cut down, there are […]
