This is from our most recent trip to South Africa (March through May), previously omitted. Similar views, particularly of Sugarloaf and Camel's Hump, can be viewed from each hike.  Jenni returning. Returning to our accommodation. Capturing a building and a mountain, two different environments, one position. Sugarloaf (a target) (right of Camel's Hump) as seen from our commencement point. Sugarloaf from somewhere close to reaching Camel's Hump. The real climb about to begin. A treat along the way: Eland below. Always spectacular: Another view of the Amphitheatre. 'The green, green grass of home,' Tom; a view from Camel's Hump. Jen's cave. Jeff's cave. Where's Jim? Burn to avoid fires. Well-earned rest on the hump. Should have seen the face before the camera was focused on her, on the way to echo cave...echo cave...echo cave. Overpowering scene of the book/movie: 'From the Terrace'......
