Now in Kaapmulden, South Africa, only 26*C and combination of sun and
drizzle. We start out early on the mini buses and visit a small town
where we buy a road map book from a used book seller, as well as two of
Bryce Courtenay's books. Drive to Pilgrims Rest, a small historic town
honouring the miners of the area. Even saw an old Masonic Lodge.
Beautiful green landscape compared to the brown and red of Zimbabwe.
Drove to a lookout called "God's Window" and took in the wonderful
vistas of the low veld! We hiked to the top of the small rain forest (No
one else from our bus did this hike and thus they were all waiting in
the bust when we got back down. Had lunch and even free wifi - however
no emails from our friends, we gathered because we were unable to send
out our blogs people had forgotten about us. Traveled on to Blyde canyon
and saw some magnificent Pot Holes and rock formations! Went on to the
"The Three Rondavels" rock formations that look like native homes. Long
and windy road back to the train - one of the guides was car sick on the
way back so that tells you how windy the road was coming back!
