Easter Break ~ Wilderness

We stayed at a place called the Beach House.
Our dorm room. It had a sliding door to the porch; the one above us (which Drew and Kate ended up staying in) had a sliding door to a balcony above the porch.

This was the view from the balcony. It was gorgeous and the ocean's roar was audible 24/7.


Easter morning we went to church. We dressed pretty well for backpackers, if I do say so myself.

James' and Clifford's cave on the railroad tracks.

Drew and James.



Me, Henning and Kate on the tracks.


Another random "candid" shot of me. :D


I totally felt like the weakest link when we were climbing (because I totally was!). Everyone was very helpful though.

Group shot!

The view, from the tracks, of Wilderness.

The bridge we needed to go under at high tide.... or at least when the tide was coming in.

After our little stroll, James served us tea in his cave.


Group photo!




The next day hiking in Wilderness National Park to a different waterfall.

I am pretty sure we lost the trail at some point in our hike.... like near the beginning.



We were having fun, but we were sooooo lost.



We had to cross the river, and I didn't want to get my shoes wet. (of course, my shoes eventually got soaked, but at least they were dry for most of the hike :D )



We finally made it to the waterfall!!!! Yet it seems that there is still always something else that needs to be climbed.

Cooling off in the waterfall.


Drew and I just being ridiculous.


Kate and I posing for the camera. The water was so nice!


The next day we were back to the railroad to see that waterfall! (the first waterfall we heard about)



We are on our way!




We had to swim to this, but it was totally worth it!

The tracks.


Me holding onto a rope to get down to the railroad tracks.

Easter Break ~ Kynsna Elephant Park



We didn't ride the elephants, but those people did!







Easter Break ~ Bloukrans Bridge

Before the Jump!


Friendly information about the bridge.


The bridge.


The "gorge" ( I don't know if it is really a gorge....)
