Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

Our next stop was just a few hours down the road at Jeffery's Bay (J-Bay). We found a nice place to have lunch and more importantly, a milkshake. Took a bit of a snooz on the beach and jumped back in the car for our final push to our destination, Addo. Once again we were unsure of what we would find. We arrived in a lush, amazing setting. We were greeted by two beautiful german shepherds and the owner, Dave. We were shown to our room and Jess and I were in a bit of shock. We were pretty sure that we were being shown the wrong room. There is a beautiful view over looking  a river. The room itself was beautiful from the outdoor shower to the porcupine quill lampshade. We were both pretty certain this was not in our budget. As it turned out, we had been upgraded. The rooms we were supposed to have were being renovated and as a result we got bumped into what looked like the best room in the place.

The next morning we awoke and drove to the game park. Addo Elephant Park lived up to it's name. We saw more Elephants than I could have ever imagined. We spent the day gnawing on biltong and dried fruit.

We finished the day with a night drive. Unfortunately, being that it is night, there are not many pictures to show for it. However, I did finally get to see the elusive porcupine. Three of them in fact. That alone made our little drive a success.

Stay tuned for the final installment of Recipe for a road trip!
