Hogsback

This morning we slept a little bit longer because the drive from Fort Beaufort to Hogsback is a relatively short distance. After packing the laundry that we did yesterday we left to the beautiful forests of Hogsback. As soon as we came closer and were on the road up the mountain I got quiet from the beauty of this place. Very dense forest and just one road that circles up the mountain which is densely packed with trees. When we got to our accommodation our host offered us a free upgrade to the entire house instead of the studio apartment that I booked because we were the only guests. Of course we didn't decline that offer and after unpacking the car we walked down the road to the start of a short hike to the Californian Redwood trees where we admired the size and beauty of these trees. After that we walked to the supermarket and got things for the braai that evening. It was quite a long way back to the accommodation because it was a steep walk uphill. When we got back we decided to pretty much immediately start with the braai. I feel so blessed having Matthew tell me to sit down while he is busy with the braai and cooks me a delicious meal.Read more
