Our last day in St Lucia was very relaxing. Barrie and Sue went on a final search for the Sooty Tern down on the beach. The sighting could still not be confirmed and they left to go back to their home in Uvongo.
Edward, George and I played some table tennis and then decided to go and relax at the tea garden at the crocodile farm. Basil had suggested a bird watching trip to the sewage works but Ed wasn't feeling too good so we gave it a miss.
It was very windy again and we found a sunny, sheltered spot overlooking an area which housed 1 male crocodile and 7 females. No comment! Various birds were coming and going and we spotted a hammerkop and crowned hornbills. The chocolate muffins were delicious and George and I enjoyed them with a couple of coffee and chocolate milkshakes whilst Ed had to be satisified with a flat coke!
We left this morning just before 8h00 and arrived home just over 7 hours later. There are still several one way stretches on the road between Pongola and Ermelo. At one we must have waited 20 minutes for the oncoming traffic to come through. There were a lot of coal trucks on the road and we saw another long coal train which we measured at over 1.3 kms.
The temperature varied between 17 and 23 degrees centigrade on the drive back. Now we are in Centurion its sunny outdoors but pretty cold in the house. The washing machine is working overtime in preparation for our next trip which starts on Monday when we leave for Magalies Park - less than an hours drive away.
