The path through the coastal forest.
Geo: -27.5637, 32.6685

Once we had breakfast we decided to do the coastal forest walk. In the end we walked for about two hours. The walk started near the camp shop. During the walk we saw various insects, interesting plant species, fungi, flowers, heard birds and saw tracks belonging to bushbucks. We didn't walk that far, it was just a very slow walk as there was so many interesting and unique things to look at.

Later on in the afternoon, once again Paul had a go at fishing. He and the other fishermen didn't have much luck. This afternoon was very grey and miserable, so different to the weather we had in Kruger! But at least it was warm, it just didn't look right - I would have liked to see a bright blue sky and the sun shining.
