Swung through J Bay to see what was cooking. Still hundreds bro
On the way back from the Eastern Cape we went via the Karoo. We had booked into the spa in Calitzdorp but the accomodations were so rubbish Gary was forced to go out organise a plan B. Luckily, in an area with very little, we found a little paradise just down the road. We were told there were hot pools and set off that evening for a swim. We couldn understand why the pools were cold and full of frogs, but under the circumstances, we weren complaining. Later that night, over dinner, we realised that we had swam in the wrong pool/pond and found the hot roman baths that we had missed.
We woke the next morning to a beautiful African sunrise and zebra and springbok outside our window. We visited Cango Wildlife Park (which is excellent) and Cango Caves

Not native to Africa, but beautiful anyway. In a fight with a lion, Tiger would come out number 1 due to it being able to stand on hind legs and hit with paws. Interesting, hey? Im full of facts.
