Day 14 Wednesday 22 April Nyanga

Our 54th wedding anniversary and we are back at Nyanga where we honeymooned all those years ago!

Up at 4.45 and negotiated Sabi in the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Decided to walk to the high point beacon up the road.

A beautiful clear morning and the views were stunning. Followed the dirt road upwards and finally turned off towards the summit. It was a maintenance road that looped around to get access.

Once there I bushbashed to the old concrete trig point on the highest point. Sat and absorbed the scenery, with views to the horizon in all but the east. Inyangani clear and close. Magic!

Reluctantly headed back to the path, then down to the beginning of the maintenance road. Back at Chapungu by 8.00. A most enjoyable 5 km walk.

Viv not feeling well but improving with medication.

Breakfast with the Hendersons. A lazy morning followed and we sat on the lawn in the sun chatting.

Left for Troutbeck about 12.30. Took Sabi with us so sat on the terrace out of the cold breeze. Ended up having a relaxing 3 hour anniversary lucheon which we will certainly remember!

Mid-afternoon Graham took us to the nearby Brackenhills Dam and we walked around the perimeter. Relaxing.

Back to Chapungu where we all found ways of relaxing. Had something of a siesta.

Good fire. Soup only for supper. Much talk. Bed about 9.30 after a warm bath.Read more
