We rushed to the beach for sunrise photos. We had to be back at the Museum by 9:45 to meet up with Kevin. We were going to have a treat of a day with a guided adventure. The plan was to go and look for the Castle Point location at the harbour with a look at Nahoon Lighthouse and a look at the excavation site of some foot prints plus a few other things.
Well things went slightly wrong and we landed up running late. We got to the Museum, I was sorting out my camera gear, and a few other bits and pieces when Kevin arrived.
We all bundled into an official East London Museum car and headed off to the habour. Kevin through around a few names and we were allowed to head into the harbour, we found the 3 markers that I had marked out on a map. The one was near to the Grain Silos, one was at the end of the break water pier and the last one was on the other side of the harbour. The problem was that I actually have no idea where Castle Point was actually situated. I had to take all these photos and hope that I had photographed the correct one.
We then headed to the Nahoon reef road to photograph Nahoon light house. What turned out to be was not quite a lighthouse but a Beacon. The history of the beacon was very interesting. Kevin will send me the history of the beacon.
We landed up the an educational centre which has been designed as a foot print after the foot print that was discovered in the excavation site which was discovered by Kevin and his team.
While we were here at the Centre we were treated to display for tail slapping and breaching by 4 or more Humpbacked whales. What a site to behold.
We went back to the museum and we headed out to Yellow sands Caravan Park to have dinner with some friends who were with us in Benoni. We had an amazing evening with them. We got back to Nahoon Caravan Park well after 9:30.
Crawled into bed and crashed. We were totally exhausted through all the information that we had obtained from Kevin, all the walking in the fresh air and the excitement of this new adventure to search for Castle point.
Today will be a day that will not be forgotten too soon.
