Pennington and Oribi Gorge

Yesterday was a lazy beach day.

The sun was out and one of those days where you just lap up the sun.

We had a late luch at the "Village Pub and Grill" and ended up having ice cream for supper. Our excuse for this is - " We are on Holiday"

Today was a bit overcast and windy and when we got down to the beach we aere staving.
Must have been the ice cream supper.

We had breakfast at the Beach Bistro and just relaxed with our books.

We went off to Oribi Gorge which is absolutely beautiful.
Oribi Gorge is situated along the spectacular forest-cloakedMzimkulwana river just west of Port Shepstone which itself is 120 km south of Durban. Oribi Gorge is the eastern gorge of two gorges that cuts through the Oribi Flats (flat sugarcane farmlands), southern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The western gorge was formed by the Mzimkulu river. At the base of the cliffs of both gorges there are rocks over 1000 million years old while the cliffs themselves are formed from sandstone deposited about 365 million years ago. Below the gorges is a large surface mine producing cement. The road through Oribi Gorge was built by Italian prisoners of war.

It is also lovely travelling when it is school time and there are hardly any tourist around. No queing at a supermarket, no waiting for a table at a retaurant, no noisy kids on the beach.

Tonight is our last night so we will eat out and thendo a bit of packing.
