St Lucia and Sodwana This part of South Africa is famous for the Leatherback Turtle as this is their nesting spot.

This turtle turned back to the sea as we approached. There were a few more but they never came out to beach.

Little Vinkie probably enjoyed the trip even more than we did. Is he looking for shells?

Cape Vidal is in the St Lucia Wetlands and is the most popular entrance to the beach on the way to Sodwana.

The mouth of the river is a very popular fishing spot. It is also a great position to watch the African fish eagle hunt.

Time for a snack. On the beach between Cape Vidal and Sodwana. The stretch between Cape Vidal and Sodwana is ±80km and a part of it is a marine reserve where nobody is allowed to overnight.

Now here is a novel way to ski! Koos Nel and his son having fun.A tongue in cheek recovery effort.  Note the absence of the driver in the towed vehicle. He was standing behind the camera.
