A couple of my best animal photos from the game park drive at Worchester. I hung on the back of the ute with one hand, standing and clicking away with the other.
Near the top, it starts to look a lot like Mordor from Lord of the rings. The mist boils over down into the Gorge. This is Jenny looking dark and scary. She's also my room-mate.
We could not complete the climb because the winds were knocking me off my feet near the top, and the fog was blinding (and freezing!). It just got too dangerous. However, on the way back, we got a lift back to our van in a BMW driven by a German who manufactures plastic car parts. Loved the faces of the other team members we passed...great day.
So this was probably the best photo I got, this giraffe was only about 30 metres from the ute. It just popped up around a corner.
Late in the day on the way back this herd of Zebras heard us coming.
Then on last Sunday we climbed Table Mountain. I am really unfit. 100 metres into it I was ready to turn back.
This is Kari near the bottom looking at our goal - Platteklip Gorge. The top was covered in cloud - the 'tablecloth'. We prob should have realised that if the cable car wasn't going due to high winds, it wouldn't be great weather near the top.
This is the view half way up. It's Capetown waterfront and main city. Pretty spectacular.
