Oribi Gorge to Underberg

We left Beechwood Cottage and said goodbye to their myriad dogs at 07h30. We're getting better and better!
POps drove the first bit to Kokstad while I clicked away with my phone - not very successfully at 100 kph...
There was a looong Stop/Go just past Harding which took 30 mins to negotiate. Then we went back to Pick 'n' Pay in Kokstad to replenish stores. Left Kokstad about 10h30.
Then we started entering the mountains and the Ukahlamba (? Barrier of Spears) was very obvious. Never seen it from this angle before!
(I was driving so couldn't take pictures 😐).
Of course we got to The Old Hatchery at 12 - Just in time for lunch. Lamb shank and Rainbow trout - delicious.
This is really a fishing spot with self-catering cabins. The cabin is just a box but is very well designed so there seems to be lots of space.
It has rained on and off all afternoon so we've really done nothing except record a few birds.
Tomorrow is the Big Trek with a bird guide up Sani Pass.
Watch this space!もっと詳しく
