solvent abuse

our humble rehabilitation department was recently visited by the highly talented and long limbed Emma Gray. thanks to her the department is looking quite spiffing after a lick of paint and a dash of creativity. who knew first year OTs were actually useful?

never a dull moment

its been a wet couple of weeks out here and it can be said without fear of contradiction that the roads have seen better days. rob and i arrived at a slick and muddy section of road to find that Dr Caroline had gotten stuck in a ditch. she tried to avoid the photos but i was merciless. after a quick tug out she had a second try and with a bit of power sliding she was away.

makambati

^ insert surfer here ^

makambati is stunning. if you go one place in the transkei go here....

makambati is a nature reserve in the northern transkei. it a bit of a drive to get there, two hours off the main road (shot robby boy!) and requires a high ground clearance vehicle to get to there. for this extra effort you get perfection. i jest you not. it is without a doubt the best place i have been on the wildcoast... and i've gone to a few places this year. the makambati river stumbles down three waterfalls into the sea and you can be the only one there to see it... awesome. the park can only accommodate a maximum of thirty people so it doesn't get crowded and most of the other people who were there did nothing but fish leaving the beach free for frisbee and various pools open for skinny dipping. word of warning: don't jump from the waterfall you see in the picture. the pool is actually very shallow. this didn't stop me though. fortunately my fall was broken by the rock at the bottom. thank god. as you limp home and spend the rest of day in bed you can console yourself with the fact that you got injured in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

does some one have some ice?
