Today’s stop is East London.This is a City of 270,000 people on the East coast of South Africa. It is well known for its beautiful sandy beaches and sand dunes, also well known for world surf competitions. Today’s program is a visit to the Inkwenkwezi game reserve. Carol have been looking forward to this visit for several days now. We were standing on the back deck ready to witness the arrival in the Harbour. I was just wondering why the ship wasn’t pointing towards the harbour, when the captain’s voice came on the Intercom, letting us know that because of the small entrance into the harbour combined with large waves, it was not safe to go in and therefore decided to cancel the visit to East London. And carry on to the next port, the City of Port Elizabeth. Carol was very disappointed. It looked liked that all game reserves for tomorrow were all booked up. Luckily for us 1 additional one opened up and we booked it right away. Now we got back to our usual program, the gym for me and Carol was going to take in a movie in the theater. For tonight we booked a Indonesian dinner on board with our friends Rocky and Joan.Below I posted some pictures from the port we didn’t visit, taken from the ship approximate one mile out.
Cheers
