And so this also comes to an end. Warm housy, DSTV, heater and all the creature comforts. Tomorrow we are off to Durban for do a few touristy things, have a Diff lock seal replaced and to meet a few people. We are staying in a friend's house, however he is away for the week end as it is his daughter's birthday and she lives in JHB. So we are squatting in his house. Nothing wrong with that as it is a very widely practiced SA custom. We have agree not to remove anything, due to the fact that we do not have space to pack anything extra!!
The "Berg" was great, although it was chilly this week. We have seen snow on the high peaks for the last 3 days. I said to Dick that the Drakensberg to me was "autumn". The colours and the falling leaves and just the general feel of a changing season was just so apparent. It was lovely. I just love autumn as it is such a rich in colour season.. The poor ground staff here spend days trying to rake up all the leaves.
There are some lovely walks around here and we have done a few. After a lovely "comfort food" lunch of pizza and red wine I went for along walk. Up the Plateau, with Eland on the hills and some magnificent scenery. These mountains are not mickey mouse mountains. I must have walked for 2 hours and it is totally safe here. It is wonderful.
Weel, as they say: " All good things come to an end" and now for the next exciting chapter!!
