The three Rondavels

For our last day in South Africa, we took a day trip to one of the most breathtaking places in the world: the Three Rondavels.
(Rondavels are the round huts often found in Africa, and as you can see there's three of these mountains shaped like Rondavels).
And as Angela was free today and had never seen it, she joined us at the last minute which was an unexpected treat.

To do something different, we started with a different access, from below, near the Blyde river, which was beautiful and took us both to a lovely waterfall in the forest, as well as to the abandoned set of the Australian "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" show.

We didn't realise that the route that would then take us from the river at the bottom to the viewpoint at the top would have us backtrack and make a ridiculous loop through the plains, up a different canyon, and along the plateau, so we made it just in time to enjoy the low sun on this magnificent view.

This is one of my very favorite places in the world, it's hard to convey its serene majesty with pictures only...
