Port Owen
We drove into Port Owen, looking for a scenic spot where we could get milkshakes. We found a restaurant bustling with a stream of Christmas holiday makers like ourselves. The place was so busy that the waitress told us there was a long wait for food orders. We told her that we had come for milkshakes only. We didn't wait terribly long, but the milkshakes were the worst we'd ever had. Amanda liked hers, but the rest of us didn't and I left mine unfinished.

somehow seagulls look so much bigger when they are after your food :)
I have always liked Flamingos.
I read online, somewhere, that Flamingos can fly.
I didn't check into it. I have never seen one fly.
Is the weather getting cooler? What is the average temp. in South Africa?
