A female Cape bulbul (Pycnonotus capensis) at Nederburg
We are taking a break at Yzerfontein, an hour from home, up the West Coast. We had an unfortunate start; when we arrived at the place we had booked and paid for through Booking.com, we found that it was occupied by sitting tenants. You can see the full story on Lynne’s Facebook page. Our first few hours in the village were spent looking for an alternative, with the help of the local tourist office and a very helpful estate agent who found us a wonderful German-owned guest house called Swept Away, run by the marvellous Inge. Fortunately Booking.com has refunded the money we paid and will reimburse us for any extra expenses incurred. So here we are, soon to relax and we’ll have more stories after we come home in 10 days
