Incredible India

India is very different to what most people expect. Even after reading up about the country, and watching travel documentaries on it, I was still rather... shocked. I was only there for 3 weeks, but got to see Delhi, Agra and quite a few areas in Goa. Goa was definitely the highlight, and although it was the beginning of the monsoon season (lots of hard rain), hiring a scooter was the best idea ever. You can't experience Goa without a scooter. Below are a few of the photos I took, it is one of the most photogenic countries I’ve been to.

OUT AND ABOUT

The summer holidays
usually takes me to a
range of places. This
time Zimbabwe was
on the schedule along
with some beautiful
places in and around
the Garden Route.





On one of our (Richard and I) fishing trips we caught this sea snake/eel thing. It was really odd and slimy and soft. While it was wriggling around and going crazy I took a photo and it's in the shape of a heart, which I thought was pretty awesome!


Victoria Bay is one of the best surfing spots in the Garden Route, and in South Africa. We also have some locals who rip, one of them being Richard. Naturally, I take photos of them.

 

Below are just a few odd photos from fishing trips, farm trips etc.

THE HUNTER HUNTED

On my most recent trip to my favourite village in South Africa- Natures Valley, we did the walk to Salt River and came across a Mussel Cracker that had seen better days. 'The hunter hunted' we called it. After examining the poor guy for quite a while, we were still unable to decipher exactly what had happened to it. It looked as if it may have died of natural causes and had just disintegrated- that was my forensic opinion anyway! I found the skeleton fascinating, especially because the head was still in rather good condition. I took many photos’ from various angles and below are three of the best.

 

JUICE IN THE ROUTE

The Garden Route has a lot more to offer than one may perceive. From the (semi) deserted beaches, to the hidden waterfalls. There will always be something that will satisfy the needs and tastes of all. Below are photos of MY time spent there recently. Although it was winter, that did not hold me back
