I Can See Clearly Now...

It's a beautiful day,
The Sun is shining,
I feel good and no one's going to stop me now... (Queen, It's A Beautiful Day)

On the road to Kruger! But before hitting Kruger, we were driving through some of the most impressive scenery I have ever seen (and "I've been everywhere, man..." (Johnny Cash, I've Been Everywhere)).

First stop was a series of hills (mountains?) called the Three Rondavels ("Three Houses"), which look very close to the houses built by members of the Xhosa tribe.


This Really Doesn't Do The Vista Any Justice

Next, it was off to The Bourkes Luck Potholes. South Africa is the only country I've visited where they have actual highway and road signs warning of "Potholes next X km". I guess it takes them a long time to repair them (actually, it does take them a long time, and when they do fix them it's usually a half-ass job).

But these are nature-made potholes. Take a gander!

Kinda Like a Dali Painting

Very Similar To South Africa's Roads



























Next it was off to "God's Window", which provided a view from the High Veld (Valley) area to the Low Veld. These views were amazing; when I stitch the photos together it will give a better idea of how amazing the view is.

The next day, we are in Kruger Park, on the lookout for animals from the safety of an enclosed vehicle. Getting stoked!!!
