Thinking that it I really should do something, if not productive,
at least energetic, I went for a walk through Wilderness national
park up to a waterfall. It's an interesting walk along a steep sided
valley to a, let's be honest rather small (but perfectly formed)
waterfall at the end. The walk (or scramble) back along the other
side was more interesting as the river and the multitude of bird
life was in view for much of the time. I had dinner in a great little
restaurant in town; a seafood laksa, but without the seafood! The
owner had spent time working around hotels, restaurants, pubs and
cafes in the UK learning is trade after deciding to give up his
five businesses in Jo'burg. Settling down in Wilderness he looks
for the most part contented and relaxed. That is apart from his
up hill battle to try and educate the South African palette. South
Africans like their meat. From the dried biltong to steak, with
very little variation. They've a long way to go before they start
eating that 'foreign muck'!
To tomorrow
