Sunrise over the Drakensburgs
Except for the rain these mountains, the highest in Africa, captured my heart forever with their magic when I went hiking the Drakensburgs.
John on the trail
Fortunately Jo from Memorable Meanders introduced me to her son John who guided me on a 30k hike into this beauty.
Sunlizards at Breakfast Stream
Stopping along the way to take pics of the flowers, bugs (remember I’ve been traveling with Joan), lizards and exceptional scenery.
Eye of the Needle
We experienced the most amazing storm about 1k from camp. Had to stop walking, cover packs and with backs to the hard rain just absorb the energy as thunder and lightning tore the skies above, and prayed.
Although I was tired and foot sore at the end of the day this hike was SO worth it.
Spires above camp
Lost my camera to the ocean waves in Durban so replaced it with a Fuji with 12x zoom. Good thing I only lost a few photos.
