Sunday 24th February Rest day and signt seeing

Today we had a later start to the day. We left the hub at roughly ten o’clock and had an hour and a half drive to Blyde River Canyon.

When we were there we were worried we weren’t going to see anything due to the cloud cover as we passed God`s Window. The fog was so thick at God`s window that we could barely see the turning in to the carpark. However, we decided to give it a miss and head to the Three Rondavels to see if the fog would have passed at God`s Window by the time we got back. Luckily, however, when we got to the Three Rondavels the clouds had dispersed and we got to see a view of a lifetime!

We then headed to a place near the top of the canyon called The Potholes. The Potholes is a much smaller canyon with a small river running through and a few waterfalls. We were climbing on the rocks and exploring the terrain and giving Mr. Leonard a heart attack whilst we climbed down to the bottom of the waterfall to take a few pictures

After that we headed off to Harrie`s pancakes which did some of the best pancakes we have ever tasted. Some people had savoury pancakes like pork and peach or chilli, and some had sweet like chocolate or cinnamon, but everyone enjoyed them and had a great time. After pancakes we were left sitting around for the rain to stop as it we were deluged by some of the heaviest rain we had ever seen. Finally, Andy bravely ran to collect the van so that we wouldn’t get too wet!
