Beautiful pictures, beautiful blog. Very enjoyable. Bernie
Thanks Bernie, I took those shots over the easter weekend when I went to Mpumalanga. I first started in the province of Limpopo and stayed there for 2 days and after I went to Mpumalanga and sepnt another two days. I must say that the drives in the region of Magubaskloof and Tzaneen in Limpopo are the best I have ever deriven in since driving around South Africa.
Please visit golimpopo.com and see what the region can offer you.
I love your blog, we spend a lot of time in Mpumalanga, and every thing you say is so true. A really beautiful province in a really beautiful country.xxx
I like pictures. I´ve been tree times at South Africa (2x at the Three Rondavels, God´s Window and the Potholes), but I´ve been there at the wrong time for taking pictures.
What do you think it´s the best time? In 40 days I´ll be there again. :-)))
Greetings
