Night Out

Big food bazaar, funky art show and lastly a bar with friends

Arrival at the Farm

These flowers are everywhere in the area

Many many shanties along the highway

Long drive in through empty waving lands

Ivan's dad says he owns the cows not because they are profitable but simply because they are so beautiful.

The Burn

Cookout on the back patio afterward

The Day of the Impala

Unusual for this bless buck and her baby to come so close to the house - usually they're skittish!

See the gigantic bird walking around in the tall grasses?

had some down time to identify one of the birds I'd seen - the Long-tailed Widowbird seems to be almost weighted down by it's gigantic tail - at least it sure swoops strangly

We were a bit worried this little guy appeared to have been separated from his mommy. We wanted him for a bit and he found a white baby cow to play with before deciding we'd best just leave him alone.

happened to catch a bolt of lightning lighting up the sky

Bye Farm

Went to check out a hut with animal carcases before we departed for Cape Town

Hello Cape Town

What a gorgeous apartment with great views on either side

Table Moutain
