Ebb & Flow Day 2

It rained lightly most of the night but it was still quite warm but at 6am when j got up it had stopped. After showering we both had breakfast and then Tom and his wife who had the same caravan as us came over to say goodbye.
Just before 9am we left camp and headed out of the gate and turned right heading over an old railway bridge and then picking up a trail. This was the half collared kingfisher trail that followed the path of the river on the opposite side of camp and was just over 5 miles long ending up at a very rocky waterfall.
It was a beautiful trail through indigenous woodland so it was shady most of the way which was good because it was getting hot. We had to cross the river by way of a pontoon and pulling ourselves across which was a real novelty before picking up the trail the other side and heading along a rocky path that had been wired together. Then it joined a boardwalk talking us right up to tree top level as we climbed higher before finally ending up at the waterfall.
It was busy at the falls even though it was only 10am, people were swimming in the pools above and below the falls so we didn’t stop long.
Heading back when we got to the pontoon crossing it was busy and we pulled 3 lots of people across before we finally got on. Nobody stopped to pull us across.
By the time we got back to camp it was midday and we had lunch and then I went swimming in the river to cool off. It was only about 2 foot deep. After swimming we headed over to reception to book an extra day here as we had plans to pop into the city tomorrow. Then we just chilled out back at camp until 5pm when I lit the Braai and cooked steak and garlic bread.Read more
