Still travelling mentally, southbound. Reading Coetzee and Brink, South Africa is on my mind.
Marvels to look forward to, thanks to a beautiful website and @SouthAfrica on Twitter:

A movement near your feet on the Augrabies Falls boardwalk. Suddenly a small, feisty and impossibly colourful lizard pops into focus. This is Broadley’s flat lizard, which lives in little groups where rivalries and territory are all linked to their techni-colour markings. At night they forget their feuds and cuddle up together.
