Deep in the kloof (gorge) - with vertical sides of 100m - and maybe 10m across.
This pool is wonderful - sandy bottom.
This pool: a more open area - normally bone dry, with no signs of damp or even that water is ever here.
Junction pool, quite a bit colder than the others. And below is a view of this pool from above.
Our tents in the Magaliesberg.
Alex, Yvonne, Thomas.
Thomas checking his marshmallow is cooked - so seriously.
Yvonne and me. I'm wearing light-stick glasses - can't see the light with the flash. Funny thing was that when wearing the glasses you couldn't see anything else as the light was quite strong about the eyes.
Alex. The kids enjoyed the light-sticks.
Rita and Alex. Bernie and John in the background.
Looked after Yvonne's kids the other day, and took them to a Gogga, Reptile and Environment exhibition at Wits University. We all really enjoyed it. Lots to see. I even ate lots of fried male termites, really tasty. When raw they taste like unsalted butter, so maybe they spiced them a bit.
John and I went hiking for a day and found this nice shaped rock in the Magaliesberg along the way.
Not a lot of flora, but spectacular when found.
These Paintbrush flowers are normally found alone. This was really unusual.
Not feeling too bad; great to get out of bed after 2 days on my back.
Serious dislocation. C6 and C7 are the bottom 2 vertebrae of the neck. Now mine are joined with titanium and stainless steel.
