Summing it all up.
 


This day started with a stroll in the game park that is part of the WedderWill complex.

To the left, an overview of the game park.

Ina and Martin went for a stroll.

Across the valley to the Sir Lowry's Pass.

Martin and Ina for a quiet few minutes in the park.

Proteas, South Africa's national flower comes in all shapes and sizes.

The entrance to the game park which is self service.

Containers used to transport animals to and from the park.

On the other side on a mountain top sits the communication antennas for cell phones etc.

Fence details to keep the animals in and dogs etc out of the park.

Just next to the entrance gate you have these lovely proteas.

Ronnie Davis at +27 218 543 748 lives in Strand close to the beach. He has shot .45 ACP since 1973 when he got into shooting practical pistol.

Here you see him shopping for reloading goodies for Martin. Unfortunately, he had forgotten his license at home, but Martin had his !

Here are Ronnie and Martin after cleaned out the shop for the last can of MP2-200 and 100 round nose lead heads they had.

Then off to the next gun dealer with anything to sell. This time Valdo of Somerset West Pistol Club. He had an additional 575 heads to sell. Martin took all of them.

Back at Ronnies place, it was time for some serious reloading. Ronnie had an old sequential press from the 70īs. Very finicky. But it worked, Martin doing all the supporting work.

And after the reloading, time for some relaxation with Ronnie's lovely wife Talitha.

Ronne and Talitha has been married for 46 years. Great. And the Merc has been with them for half the time. Great car.

Time for a lunch. Martin had his favorite, ribs. Best meal there is. Talitha was looking after herself and only had a salad. Ronnie had ribs as well.

Time to say goodbye at Martin's cheap rental. Their daughter Sonya can be reach via email. Ronnie doesn't have Internet.

On the way back to Wedderwill Country Estate, Martin dropped in for a few beers. This is the salesman, DennisNOSmile. And he tried 5 times. When the flash went off, he didn't smile. Sad.

The next day, Tuesday 28th, Martin was on his way to Mossel Bay.
