A focal point of the Bontebok National Park is the Breede River, serenely flowing along the park’s southern border. Visitors can kayak, fish and swim in the river or picnic and camp on its banks.

Thank you so much, John. Indeed, we’re keeping to ourselves and sanitizing anything and everything we come into contact with, but getting out of the city was immensely important too.
Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas as well.

Thank you so much for the kind blessing, Tracy. Travelling in a bubble we definitely are, but it was so necessary for our overall wellbeing to get out of the city!

These trips have been such a part of your life, Dries. If there is anybody who knows how to travel safely in those parts, it is you. Take care. I look forward to your photos.

I can imagine, Janet! Even to us a great contrast having just arrived from the Great Karoo, which is as dry as you can get on most continents, the day before.

Not too far from us is the Salt River and my feelings when coming upon it unexpectedly probably were similar to yours there. Just delightful.

Nou praat jy, daars nie plek vir sorge en kwale as mens so rustig kan wees nie. Ek gaan weer n paardae die plaas in die berge oppas. Geen TV of radio net die wind se gesuis in bome en die rustigheid al gee diere my ook maar weghol probleme, haha. Mooi Kersfees en ook voorspoedige nuwe jaar vir jou en jou familie. Gaan jul steeds in die rustigheid wees?
