A cloudy day in the hills
It was one of those days in which the sky growls and then goes quiet again, only to find its voice again later on. Thunderstorms and downpours alternated with blue skies and sunshine. We went out for an evening stroll and I managed to get this photograph before the biting insects had completely sucked me dry…
Dassie on the rocks
The rock hyrax or dassie is not at all afraid of heigths. Balancing on a rock above the crashing waves is its idea of a relaxing spot. Dassies live in groups of up to 80 animals. Their teeth show a pair of elongated upper incisors, which they have in common with their close relative, the elephant.

St. Blaise’s Trail
Another amazing hike on the Gardenroute is St. Blaise’s trail in Mossel Bay. A narrow path leads over the rocks, giving beautiful views over the ocean below.
Jump into the weekend
If you are fed up with work, longing for some weekend rest and relaxation, know this: the weekend feels so much better if you are lucky enough to have a job. You are actually blessed!
Path through coastal forest
“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence”
– Henry David Thoreau
Sunset on the beach
Sunset on the rocky coast at Storms River Mouth. Here the sea seems to be engaged in an endless war on the rocks of the shoreline. Waves clash over the jagged edges day and night. A really stormy place!
Waterfall
The Waterfall trail at Storms River Mouth Rest Camp ends at a beautiful waterfall where the water drops over a cliff into a rock pool that connects to the sea. The water is clean and cool – and offers a great opportunity for a swim after the demanding hike!
Awesome wonder
