Sunday 23 February 2020 - Three Rondavels and Blyde River Canyon


Today we travelled to the Three Rondavels. When we got there we really enjoyed the view and spent some time looking at the three mountains. As a group we all took lots of photos and videos. We also had a go at some bargain hunting at the local stalls, selling things such as wooden and ceramic animals. There was also clothing that the locals would usually wear. Some of us tried a bit of haggling. Afterwards, Bourke's Luck Potholes was the second sight we visited. Again, we took lots of photos and also did some climbing on the rocks (carefully following the risk assessment at all times!). Where we were climbing had many views like waterfalls and different shape rocks of all different sizes, shapes and a variety of colours. However, due to the weather we didn’t get to visit God’s window as it was too foggy and wet. Mr. Leonard wasn’t happy as it was the fifth time in a row he couldn’t see it! 
On our way back we called in at Harrie's pancakes in a town called Graskop. We all had different toppings like cinnamon, sugar, chocolate, peanut butter and even bacon and cheese for Freddie. For our drinks we all had different milkshakes and mine was potentially the best chocolate one I’ve tasted. We all felt very full afterwards and are relaxed and ready for the next week of our visit.
