Drakensberg Mountains


Before we drove up to Jo'burg/Pretoria, we spent a few days camping in the Drakensberg Mountains. We had a stunning campsite at Hlalanathi:


Our second site (we moved for the better view)

Our first site -- the view was actually pretty good!



Not only did we have extraordinary camping, but there was a pretty good golf course at Hlalanathi, too. Richard played with the Drakensberg Mountains in the background. The only battle was with relentless wind that just ripped through the mountain valleys.










Our drinking buddy after golf:


The next day, stopping for a beer again, and ....



One of our days at Hlalanathi we had a huge thunderstorm. It was dramatic and the most intense rain we've seen yet.

      I’ll have you know the magic club reached the 132m severely downhill hole to 8 meters.

      Now, 18 was an 550m uphill with a 30km wind in your face. One drive, three 3 woods to get within pitching distance.
