The One Where You Get to See the Most Beautiful Potholes. Like Ever.

Sorry it's been so long.  My excuse is that there has been a lot going on in our construction world here and the time has flown by since I last posted. We haven't forgotten you though.  Matt has reminded me on a semi-daily basis to write a blog.  Tonight I spent a lot of time going through pictures to be able to keep some nice ones to share with you of the places we were really excited to see in real life.  So without further ado, I give you, the rest of Blyde River Canyon. Well, some of it anyways.

Next stop, Berlin Falls:

We would like to be able to see  it someday again with more water. Winter is dry season here.  But we thought it was so pretty.  Yes, I said winter.  Then we proceeded to the truly exciting part.  Bourke's Luck Potholes.  Had a cold picnic whilst keeping a look out for big Baboons who like to steal food from unprepared tourists.  You think I'm joking about the cold part.  June in South Africa should be lovely right?

Ha! It is lovely.  But can also be cold.  I wasn't just playing around for the camera either. Well, maybe we played a little.

It's just that we were so happy to be visiting new and exotic locales!  Back to the Potholes. Are you ready? It's seriously cool.

 Hands down, best potholes ever.  This picture shows the scale.

The potholes have formed where 2 rivers come together, if I have my facts straight.  The canyon officially starts around this area.  Here is part of the canyon just before the potholes:

And lets take another look at those potholes:

So so so pretty. 3 times for emphasis.  We then walked over to the top of the falls and hiked around a little.  There is a sign of prohibited things to do above the falls.

So you noticed the hiking sign....well we weren't exactly hiking. More like exploring.  But not in the forbidden area..well, we didn't think so anyways. :D Other people were doing it! Hmm...

It was gorgeous though. We had some encounters with other tourists above the falls.  They wanted their picture with us!  We are like, such celebrities. Or maybe they were just really enjoying the day. They were giggling alot..

Us with random stranger.  Hey!  I totally didn't even see that warning sign behind Matt until just now.

That's enough for this post!  

Love, Lazuli
