54.12 KwaZulu-Natal: Eco Sungubala Camp, a hike into the hills, finding a mystery woman, and a surprise from the opposite mountains.

To truly obtain a better understanding of nature, of the world, it’s ideal to connect with it rather than learn of it. Absorption of nature by lecture, reading and discussion provides clues but does not reveal its mystery, harshness, beauty and above all, fails to leave indelible impressions on both body and soul.

  From Jackal Hill, we not only get a view of Mont-aux-Sources but the previous night's snow covering, too.
And another view of the Sentinel.
Following heavy rains, streams and rivers all flowing strongly. In the distance, the focal point of a recent hike: Sugarloaf.
Face in the other direction and we see another hike we undertook twice from different directions: Camel's Hump.
Always tricky but worse when wet.
We've spent much time searching for as well as following baboons. They have been elusive. We never realized we had a monkey with us. Looking for the bare woman.
'I think I found her, Jen.' "I ask you, What's the point?"
The mighty berge of the Berg.
We went to contact Peter, owner/manager of this camp, hike in his area and glance occasionally at the 'ho-hum' sights.
Once again the Amphitheatre, but from a different seat.
And then we went 'nighty-night'.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
