We took a drive through the town's suburbs in our search for a small house with a view of the ocean, or the mountains.
Some lovely wildlife was found in or next to the roads on our trip.
This is an old farm town that was built on what was once a big farm and the wildlife has adopted the farm as their own. A friend told us about a duck pond and we included the pond in our drive. Surprisingly, the ducks were not in the pond, but resting right next to the roadside. But of course, that's not all that we saw and I invite all of you to come on the drive with us.
Let's go.
A lovely horse was prancing around in a camp next to the road. I think that black fringe was to protect its eyes against the sun.
You can see that this horse is very well cared for.
Ever hear the saying to; "get your ducks in a row"?
These are not local ducks, as they are Muscovy Ducks and you can read more about them HERE
Ah! An ocean view, lots of nature and what a sight.
Some of the Muscovy ducks found something to eat in the road.
And here in the next photos we had a bit of a crisis situation.
A large group of pedestrians were crossing the road.
So, slowly I cruised closer to see what they were. Ah! Cape Spurfowls.
They are also called the Cape Francolin and they are endemic to South Africa. You can also read more about them Here
Suddenly the one little group started to scatter, and I knew that it was not us that scared them. So what was it?
A cat was prowling up on them.
Briskly the birds moved off and my wife jumped out of the car to chase the cat.
Not a happy fellow as back in his yard, he gave her a look.
This brave mom even came to take a peep if the cat was gone.
Nope, we could not see any small homes in this area and besides that, we were so engaged in the wildlife sightings that there might have been small homes and we did not see them. But I don't think so, as it is a very well off area. We will not stop our search, as maybe there is someone that converted a double garage into a cottage, or even built a flat on top of their double garage.
Or then again, we might move to a different town that is also close to the sea and surrounded by mountains. It's all up in the air at the moment and in the meantime due mainly to the power cuts, our economy is not doing well. Our own finances are also very limited, and we simply cannot afford the high rental fees in the areas with the views. But somehow, somewhere there is always a plan and patience is on our side.
So, for now we will just keep on looking.
I hope that you have enjoyed the ride and the sights.
And That's All Friends.
