Down South

We got up at four in the morning to start our 1200km drive down to Victoria Bay. By the time we got half way through the Karoo we had enough. The Karoo is a semi desert that sits between Fold Mountains. There are actually two, the Groot Karoo (Big Karoo) and the Klien Karoo (Small Karoo). Both were flat and dry with the only animals to be seen are the Marino sheep, Angora goats and crows. “It is just over the next mountain” I kept saying about our destination but the mountain passes and the dry desolate plains kept on coming. Finally driving over the Outeniqua Pass and seeing George way below us with the sea behind the town was all worth it. Later on after supper we sat round a bonfire singing camp songs and drinking hot chocolate. Now we are sitting in our chalet with a beautiful view of the wilderness coastline and a myriad stars as our company what more can we ask for.
