South Africa : Drakensberg

Our next step was Drakensberg. I was really waiting for that moment as I love being in the mountains and the pictures I had seen were breathtaking. Unfortunatly, I didn't get to see to much the first day as the rain was pouring when we arrived at the backpackers we were staying, Inkosana Lodge.

This lovely place made us quickly forget about the weather outside as we read all the afternoon by the fireplace with a nice tea in our hands. As they say, "it's always tea time" in South Africa.

The next day we had more luck and we decided to hike "Blind man's corner" near the Monk's Cowl (70 ZAR). As expected the view got better with every step we took. The hike took us about 3 hours so we decide to drive quickly to Cathedral Peak. The drive to get there was really beautiful we went through all small villages with the Berg in background.

We've spend the second day in the mountains hiking near the Amphitheater. The "Thukela Gorge" hike is about 5 and half hours and is really worth it even though we couldn't see all of the Amphitheater as it was foggy.
