After a truly South African Breakfast we start our
day with one of a kind experience at Gods Window.
We continue to the famous Bourk's Luck Potholes.
Bourke's
Luck Potholes are
without
doubt incredible.
Essentially they're the result of decades of swirling
eddies of water where the Treur River
meets the Blyde River, the tumult of which has
caused extensive water erosion over time.
The result is a series of cylindrical rock sculptures that look as
though they would be more comfortable on the moon.
We stop at the 3 Rondawels
The
view point is spectacular.
From
here one looks over the canyon to the Three
Rondavels
on the other side of the northern edges of the
Drakensberg range
of mountains. An outlook that is overwhelmingly
beautiful and deserves more than a moment's respite.
We drop down the plateau and turn down a dust road via Exeter to something
truly amazing and hart warming. Jessica a 2 ton tame hippo
