Sorry that I am a bit behind in my posts, but no real excuse other than having a great time. Anna and I are spending a large amount of time together and doing some wonderful things which doesn’t actually leave a lot of time for getting on my computer and doing posts (unlike when I was by myself!). We have been doing a lot of sight seeing, Christmas shopping, eating in great restaurants and socialising with Anna’s friends. You definitely have a better social life in Pretoria if you are a de-facto local.
We are heading to Swaziland this weekend, which has a great local craft industry, so I should pick up the last of my Christmas presents then, and post them next week. Anyway, here are the last of the Western Cape pictures.

This was the 'view from the loo' in the B&B we stayed in at Plettenberg Bay (obviously looking out over the bay). |
|
The road up to the Kango Caves, which has Bushman rock art in the first chamber, and spectacular limestone formations in the others. |
|
After we left Kango Caves we decided to go to Prince Albert for the night. Little did we know that the road became a goat track over the mountains, but the scenery was spectacular. The line going across the mountain in front of us is the track road. |
|
Finally got to the top of the mountains and this is the view down the other side. |
|
The next day we decided to take a 'shortcut' back to the coast, which reduced a one hour trip to five hours. This is one of the spectacular valleys we travelled through to get back on the coastal side of the mountains. |
|
More valleys! |
|
Still going! We just made the plane with about 10 minutes to spare. Because of the rush, that is why I didn't lock my bag up properly, hence my camera getting stolen. |
