Day 12: Land and Sea


We packed up the truck with 12 tanks and a picnic lunch and headed for Washington Slagbaai National Park for a little land and sea today. It was about a two hour drive to the first site up north and through the park. We saw lots of birds, goats and iguanas en route and enjoyed the variety of cacti. At the first site, Playa Fungi, we descended toward the sandy bottom and Vicky spotted a southern stingray, we hung out at 120ft for a bit then checked out the rest of the reef.

During our snack stop the lizards were coming from all directions looking for a snack. Seems they are fed frequently by the tourists and one was so bold as to climb Andy's leg trying to get his PBJ (Peanut butter and jam sandwich). Finished the second dive and headed to Boka Slagbaai for our lunch stop.

On arrival we decided we really weren't too fussed about getting another dive in so we had a leisurely lunch and enjoyed the beach areafor awhile. We headed back south past Gotomeer to see the flamingos and got back to the place around 5:30. A little review of today's pictures, some diner and of course the three C's...cribbage, cookies and coffee....
