The Indian Ocean



On sunday we got up had breakfast at Wendy's, packed up, paid our bill and headed out to drive about an hour out to an area called Cape Vidal. This is a pennisula island that is a game reserve park and beach that goes out to the Indian Ocean. It is a major vacation area for people in South Africa. It was once again an amazingly awesome site to behold. We saw a Rhino, and Hippo in the park and I got to step into the Indian Ocean for the first time. Yes there were crocodiles around but I managed to avoid them.

What appears to be mountians in the pic of me on the beach are really Forested sand-duns and this is one of only a very few places in the world were such a thing is found. The water was very warm and the scenary just incredible. I sat on the jetti and wondered how such a beautiful continent in some areas could be home to such pain and suffering as well. The contrast is mind boggling at times. It was nice to get away for the weekend as the work I am here doing really does start to take a toll on you.
