OMG, the beds here are super comfy. The only thing that woke us was a storm in the middle of the night. Not a hardship, I love the sound of rain. This morning I was spoilt, as I am most mornings, with a cup of coffee in bed. On his second cup Gray kept moaning that his coffee tasted terrible. Half way through he looked into his cup, to discover an ugly, BIG, black, cockroach looking creature in his coffee. My hysterical laughter alerted the camp cat, who then hopped up and snuggled on the bed with me. It felt like home.
The only downside of this place is trying to find kitchen implements. Although we seem to be the only ones using the kitchen. After whipping up a fairly decent breakfast we headed down to Kosi Mouth.
The sea is rough here, as it is at all places where inland water tributaries or rivers flow into the sea. We decided to go snorkeling today. Lake 4, is furthest from the sea and is fresh water, Lake 3 is a mix of fresh and salt water and the last 2 are salt water. In Lake 1 there is a shallow reef. We waded upstream and drifted down with the current. I love snorkeling and diving on reefs, it's another world down there, so peaceful. We saw a great variety of reef fish; including moray eels, puffer and angel fish, a trumpeter fish and a number of deadly lion and stone fish.
We had left our gear on a log in the middle of one of the islands near the reef and throughout the morning the tide steadily submerged the sand bank, so we were forced to gather up our stuff and cross the channels back to the car.
The beach was fairly deserted, as this area is only accessible with a 4 x 4. Some brave people walk down to the beach but it is a long and arduous trek down a steep hill and back. Other than a few holiday makers along the long deserted strip were a few local fishermen.
We returned and chilled around the pool, till the mossies sent Gray back to the tent. Panda is not having a good bug day – hehe.
Another chilled afternoon reading with the cat. Another couple of G & T’s around the braai. I could get used to this life.
