Chickadee Manor

Betty's Bay

On our way from Cape Town to Stanford we stopped in at Betty's Bay which was the site of an old oiling station.  We visited Stony Point Penguin Colony to view the black-footed penguins, cormorants, and fascinating little creatures called hyraxes who are also known locally as dassies.  

An Afternoon at the Beach

On our way home, we stayed overnight with friends who live right at the edge of Great Slave Lake.  The beach in front of their home is beautiful.  The kids had a blast making their own pool by making a driftwood log frame at beach level which they then covered with muddy sand they bucketed from the lake.  Once the pool was dug to their satisfaction they brought water up from the lake to fill the pool!
