The brief raptor sighting I had a couple of days ago may have been a Palm Nut Vulture as Luis had a brief glimpse of one flying over the forest canopy.
A swim by sighting of dolphin - our second sighting during this trip. They probably do their up swim in the morning and return late afternoon but we've been missing them.

Great excitement. Mum & Baby relatively up close and personal. Have found out, compliments of google, that these are Humpback Whales.

Within 10 minutes a further pair came cruising north. This time, Baby was frolicking and joyfully leaping. Even more convinced that they are Southern Right but will research.

Wow ... This is sublime. Another 10 minutes and a third pair.

Brutus' battery curled up and died on us ... Jay to jump start us!
15/8/14
Decided to head for the hills today as weather has turned.
Different route back to border. Ended up in a mega 4x4 playground. Both
Diesel 10 and Brutus performed magnificently.
Counted the speed bumps on the Kosi Bay to Jozini stretch: 20 rumble bumps, 33 medium (10kph) bumps and 43 large (5kph) bumps. Plenty goats and cows crossing the road. 48 rumbles and 8 large humps in and around Pongola!
