3 Pools
While I was at Lake Naverone I hiked up to an area called the 3 pools (where coincidently there are 3 pools) in the Drakensburg Natural Park. The weather there was strange - I hiked for about 5 hours in the beating sun and was boiling, but in the shade it was freezing to the extent that there was frost in some places and one of the pools was partially iced over.

Hiking on your own in this area is a little disturbing - there are literally no other people and if you take a tumble, like I did, you start worrying about when/if anyone would find you. At one point I came accross a troop of baboons, which are pretty large, and I realised I wasn't sure if they were the kind of creature that would come after me or run away. As it turns out they ran away but they were having quite a big fight amongst each other.

That's all my holiday pics for now. The key ones I'm missing are from the wedding itself, when by rotten coincidence my camera battery had run down, but I'll be getting copies from other people that were there and posting them at a later date. So back to the usual nonsense for now...

Looks like you had quite the adventure.....I would have freaked out about the baboons(too many nature shows showing them tearing chimps to bits!). :) But you stood your ground and sent them running(and have the pic to prove it!!!). Glad you survived your safari......welcome home! ;)

They're wonderful pictures, the boathouse at Naveronne is a prize winner - do you mind if I use it on my desktop?

Pretty amazing scenery G! I would have loved to do such a hike, but the baboon business might have freaked me somewhat.
Can't believe those water reflection photos are so clear - are you sure you haven't been messing with Photoshop?!

No they're 100% untouched (except for some resizing on a few of them). If I'd photoshopped them there would be more Star Wars characters featured.

Thank you chicken - for the "young" bit too ;-)

And yes, the Star Wars version sounds good too. Not that I've ever actually seen a Star Wars movie but I lust after Harrison Ford the same as the next woman...
