Phew. Still incredibly hot but a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday. Fortunately we dont need to cycle or walk in the full sunshine or even ride the scooter as we would have done on previous trips. Just trying to be sensible and limit the time we are fully exposed to the sun as it really is lethally hot.
We first of all visited Limeuil which is just over the bridge across the Dordogne. On a Read on...

Fortunately, last night I was able to get a good nights rest so I was ready to take on the day. It was cool enough at night that I could sleep under a sheet and I also have the bug net up around my bed. That said, I still have quite a few bug bites. I am go Read on...
I exited the Xtrk at 6.45am on a very, very cold clear sky morning. I hadnt walked 2m before 6 kookaburras sitting together 5m on a tree branch about 30m from me began their laugh, and laugh they did, waking anyone who was still asleep at that stage, for a full 2 minutes It was sensational. I had heard kookaburras laugh before but not that many all at once for 2 minutes. Those brave enough to tes Read on...

In South Africa this time of the year sun rise in already at 4:30 and it is easy to be early out and about. We used our free day to enjoy the beach and the beautiful resort build in this lush, green and remote site on the Wild Coast. The Wild Coast is a section of the coast of the Eastern Cape. The Read on...
