Off to Storm River we go! The mountains remained to our north as we traveled west. We saw three baboons on the roadway and at least 20 signs telling the public not to feed them under punishment of a fine. One unexplained item we saw was single lines of trees along the ridgelines of the hills. It looked cool but we are not sure how this could come about on its own. We got to he Storm River Bridge and walked over it poon the north side. The trucks on the road are usually pulled two trailers and when they came up behind us while we were crossing the bridge, we had to give out a yelp. When we reached the end the trail took us under the bridge and then back up the the south side. More big truck making noise and shaking the bridge under our feet. I got some cool videos and the links are below. We drove into the park and down to the mouth of the Storm River. A quick lunch and then off we go on a hike. Waterfalls, flowers, lizards, bees and more. There were two suspension bridges that we walked over and we watched a kayak tour paddle underneath us. Of course there was that goofball that just had to jump up and down on the suspension bridge. We let him have his fun and then when he was gone we walked across ourselves. There was a good amount of people on the trail and they varied from South Africans to Brazilians to Germans to Americanos. The staff seemed happy that tourism is back on the rise. Yet another great experience shared with our mate, Andrew.

With the baboons
So odd looking
394 feet above the water below
It is cold water but there is still an excursion through the canyon
So many huge Calla Lilies
Impassible without a bridge
A real labyrinth in the sandstone
A bite to eat before we go on a hike. This is my two fisted burger
A fine salad for Miss Leslie
The mouth of the Storm River
So much color from the lichen and mosses
A carpenter bee
A sunburst of flowers
A forest cockroach
More unique flowers
A fine waterfall for us to enjoy
It keeps going on down to the ocean
A close up of the waterfall
Fossilized mud trails?
The sandstone has been compacted and then uplifted
The kayak tour
The first suspension bridge and then the second to the right
The second suspension bridge
An arch in the rocks
Every where we turn we find another cool plant
If at first it does not adhere, nail, nail again
Off goes the kayak tour
Looking back to the suspension bridge and the mouth of the river
The Cape Girdled Lizard
The girdle must be the spikes
If you look close there are tiny blue spots on this guy
Lovely water and rocks
Blue beautys
Looking to the east
Vervet Monkeys at the entrance to the park
See you later
It has been 118 days since we began our Migration
