A Drive Through The Berg

Today I drove in south Africa for the first time. I hired myself a VW Polo and took myself off for the day into the Berg. Now, I was going to attempt a 5 hour walk to the Tugela Falls. Unfortunately, I never made it round due to a bit of vertigo and the fact that it was really cold and misty as I climbed to towards the peak. So I decided to drive through the Drakensberg for a bit instead. It was great to get out and a big thanks to Rachel and Liam for, one letting me have the day off, and two giving me a lift in to get the car. It was really nice to get out and about.

When I got back to the reserve I past a big group of Waterbuck on the rye field, I've never seen so many all together! After a cuppa and a shower I headed up to join in the fun at Liam and Rachel's.

My little hire, a VW Polo. Think my next car might be one of these. In that colour too.

Still loving the Lilly's.
