Karl in the dive mode, Astin with the flying monkey and Franster off the edge






 
Livvie - the Queen of the day for taking the leap!!
 
Some finds on the walk back to Camp
 










The Baboons making an appearance - a family outing it seemed.
 
The one fire that kept us warm day and night



 



Taking a drive to Kromrivier - like going back in time...


















When petrol/diesel actually was 11,6 cents?? The tree and the petrol pump - how on Earth did they fill up - or was this so long ago that the tree grew that big next to the pump? Go figure!!


                                          



 
Kromrivier - the plants and the old thatch - then the weirdest sight of all - a leopard on the dining table in the house? The fun moments trying to get that shot - Heather will tell the tale!


 
 Off to the outdoor observatory - thanks to Chris who gave us the talk on the amazing stars and planets out there - beautiful evening to see the stars.

Another crate or 2 to get us through the cold spell - so, was it 6 or 7 crates in total?
Well worth it - as minus 2 degrees and camping made the fires a warm treat!
Time for gourmet cooking 

 
           
the cauldron that only needed lighting when we started the fire on day 1 - kept it going 24/7 and oh boy was it a place to gather around and play broken telephone which was a complete jawl!

       
 
So it was cold - beanies, scarves, gloves - you name it we wore it!
 
Another set of training wheels off - Cederberg is the place to make this happen - well done Nicky!

 


 
Off to see the Rock Art and the Stadsaal caves.
 



 
                        
 The boys taking to great heights - amazing rock formations
What a beautiful place - The Cederberg
Buddies 
 

 
 Man of his word was AndrĂ© and Karl took in on the bet to swim - maddness!

Another food moment!
Photo taken from Astin and Daniel's spot up on the mountain. Thanks Astin
One very cold and frosty morning - finding the evidence at the park. 


      

 
 Love the recycling - even up in the Cederberg
A ray of sun - was a fluke photo - cool though
André dressed for the cool breeze coming in like ice.




The creators of Go Go land
 Imagination - the dinner table - fantastic!
 Ant taking photos of the morning walk - 11 km toward Kromriver

 
Time to make our way home - after 8 superb nights - thanks to all!
