Edward‘s Lookout and Hoffmans Pool

We left our cool river-side campsite in the morning and went to the Visitor‘s Center across the street to charge all our appliances - we were there for quite a while. We noticed a few minutes past 4 pm that the place was supposed to close down at 4 sharp. And close down it did. All our devices were still charging in there while we were having lunch just two meters further away, sitting outside. Luckily, someone was still within reach and opened up again so we could collect our stuff. We drove a short time to our next river-side campsite. From there we went on a quick 1-hour hike to Edward‘s Lookout, enjoyed the view and took another hike to go swimming in a natural pool, called Hoffmans Pool. And wow, the pool was cool! When you go in there, the water gets deep rather quickly. It‘s not at all a wide river. One moment, the water reaches up to your knees, the next it‘s 7m deep. That‘s why we took a chance with jumping off the maybe 4m high cliff into the refreshing, slightly freezing water.
Contrary to our plans to make it back to the campsite in daylight, we had another night in which we prepared dinner in the dark. It‘s not as fancy as it might sound, although the salad was delicious.
