Home again home again jiggity-jig






This morning we were on the trail by 7am and hiked until 11.  We went on the 10km hike again, but it was slower so we could actually take a look at our surroundings.  We went to the second water fall that we had;t seen on the trail run.  And, it was a rock scramble to the top.  It was a real challenge finding our own way and I was even hit by a softball-sized rock that was kicked loose, but we all made it up, and down (which is often harder).  At the end of the hike there were baboons in the trees, and they were impossible to get pictures of.  After the hike, we ate a quick lunch of sandwiches by the car and got on the road.  We arrived back at the flat by 4 after refueling the car, getting it washed, and grabbing some groceries for the week.  We all had a lot of reading to finish and just chilled for the night.

The Big Tree!  Can you see my friends in the pic.  The one closest is 6' tall, that should give a reference to how tall it really is.

Follow the hogs!

The sun came through the canopy very nicely.

A smaller Madonna and Child than we saw on the run on Saturday.

Straight up the rock scramble.

A shadow of a ferny leaf.
