After a long Baz Bus ride from Knysna to Stanford we arrived in the dark at Mosaic Sanctuary on Friday night. We are staying on the property in a beautiful duminy cottage with Kathryn Johnson our gracious host. We awoke this morning to spectacular views outside our windows of the Overberg Mountains, the lagoon, beautiful nature and a peahen (a female peacock!) on our front porch. When the rain cleared Kathryn took us on a nature walk ending at the Spookhuis (Ghost House!) which was originally built in 1892 and has been lovingly restored by the Johnsons. Such a beautiful building.
Nature guide Craig took us down to the Atlantic Ocean in his open top jeep where we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the beach in the sand dunes. Despite looking for whales in the bay, none were to be spotted. They usually arrive a little later to calf their babies.
This evening we'll watch the South African rugby team play vs. England! An exciting and big part of South African culture. Liz Gregor
