Dumped on a narrow country lane in the Daily Challenge on Geoguessr today.
First thought was maybe Wales?
Then I turned the camera around, and… hang on…
Well, that looks very much like the Lady Isabella – the largest working waterwheel in the world – which would make it just over the other side of the valley from here:
Very helpful.
And 5,000 useful points in the bank before heading off towards Indonesia and Colombia.
It’s been a whirlwind of school stuff, dodgeball, trips around SA and general life over the last month and a half. But we shouldn’t forget that we were here:
…far from the hustle and bustle of everything just six weeks ago.
This is the Lady Isabella, The Laxey Wheel:
the largest surviving original working waterwheel in the world.
Built in 1854, 22.1m diameter, 3rpm.
You don’t really get much of an idea of scale until you look closely at the man in blue at about 5 o’clock.
I still have to go through a lot of photos from Ireland and the Isle of Man.
And Kruger.
And now Gqeherba.
And I still have to tidy up my Flickr.
But it’s been a whirlwind of school stuff, dodgeball, trips around SA and general life over the last month and a half.
I’ll get there.
…quota photos.
We’ve spent the day on the beach today and are now playing catch-up on the packing for tomorrow’s mammoth 20 hour trip back to Cape Town. So today’s post will be a quota photo (which, even at this terribly late stage has not yet been selected) and tomorrow’s will be one of those horrible automatically set post and will consist of another quota photo.
Normal service – such as it ever was – will resume on Tuesday. From Cape Town.

Have a lovely evening.
