Day 4 Continue...
...
At Margate we started routing back inland going home. Kwazulu Natal is lush green, and the rivers brown with all the rain washing down into the rivers.
The last picture of the day, me and my wife, just before our final landing home?Does it look like we enjoyed it???
The Best picture of day 4 must be ?The hole in the wall? larger for your convenience.
The End.
Regards
Rudi

I am not an expert but I believe they send divers down, with big vacuum pipes, sucking in the sea bed sand, then filtering for the diamonds. Those divers work in bad conditions for hours at a time, talk about a bad job...everything for those little shiny stones.
