Making Tracks Toward Our Last Stop: Mountain Zebra


8 April 2012

Packing up in the rain is never fun, but the family pulled together and we were pretty successful in keeping most things dry. Luke and I managed to convince the family to stop in Jefferys Bay for lunch so that we could sample Trawlers hake, calamari and chips. A quaint little fish and chip shop with an unassuming atmosphere, the mother takes the orders while her son cooks at the back. Best fish I have ever had, Trawlers has a special place in my heart right alongside the Chinese restaurant across the road from our beach cottage back home (you’ll hear about that in blogs to come). Over the Easter weekend of 2011, Luke and I and a bunch of friends had camped out in J Bay and happened upon this little piece of paradise and we've never forgotten it. However, more of that story will come another time.  

A long day of driving got us to our next home: Mountain Zebra. The frigid night time temperatures left us in no doubt that winter had arrived before it’s time in this little game reserve, which left James cursing the fact that he had brought only two left shoes which meant no shoes and hence very cold feet.
