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
