A day of driving and stopping in a number of places for a look; Stanford, Riversonderend, Suurbraach, Tradaux Pass, Barrydale and Warmwaterberg Spa. The Tradaux pass was our highlight of the day. It cuts through the mountain range with deep gorges either side. Fantastic views, hardly any traffic, truly gorgeous. We saw baboons and ostriches along our route. Our final destination was Warmwaterberg Spa where we are camping. We have erected our tent with a few large rocks (as we have no pegs) and tonight is going to be a cold one. There is however a slight advantage ... the beautiful spa full of really lovely warm water doesn't close until 10pm! Guess where we intend to be all night. Oh, whilst writing the blog and eating our homemade rusks and fig jam, a brigade of peacocks walked past our picnic table. Wow!
The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing in the spa, exploring the surrounding wilderness on a short hike and eating chips, before later returning to the spa for a spot of stargazing. We think we saw the constalations of Scorpio and the southern cross plus the milky way!6
