65.17 A Glance at the true beauty of the natural resources of the Republic of South Africa, we think...part 2.

The hills are 'smoking' as we saunter along and up them on the Fanie Botha Trek in the north of the country.
Day 3, we view the target.
The parting clouds allow us to view the peak after a long climb toward the Sentinel on the border of KwaZulu-Natal/Lesotho. Distinctive is a simple description.
That's the prettiest (ladder) girl I've ever seen. Wow! And I climb with her, too. Jen reaches the second stage of the chain ladders, emerging from frequent mists.
A genuine zebra crossing in Little Switzerland, KwaZulu-Natal, leads us safely into our apartment.
Reaching one of the highest passes in Africa, Sani Pass in Lesotho.
That's for walkers and vehicles. At the time, it was in good condition.
The sun knows how to turn on the charm, especially at the two extremes of the day.
"Coffee" at the highest pub in Africa.
Jen walking among the cliffs, mist and so much more, as she heads toward Tugela Falls, world's second highest.
Maybe you should move away from those slippery edges, Jen. The water flowing is at a low but nevertheless, still dropping from a high. Tugela Falls before Jen.
Following Jen into the clouds...getting closer to heaven.
Reaching the bottom of Howick Falls, Pietermaritzburg.
At the end of the day, after chasing dreams as well as facing reality, a shower, boots off and sitting on one's rear-end...the feeling is a good one on the Fanie Botha Trek. We reached the camp before the others; it allowed us some luxury.
We head to the Cape, the fairest of them all, some say. We attempt to climb Table Mountain from one of the many routes. Dare we say, 'Indian Venster' (Window to India) is quite a difficult one. 

This is a view from the 12-Apostles side of the mountain.

One has to be a little edgy up on the mountains as Jen displays her level confidently.
One would appreciate no back-handed or rear-end comments over this tricky climb...okay, we tried. Feel free!
"Yes, girl, it's only up until we are ready to go down. I hope that makes sense."
"It would be nice if you lent a hand or even two, please."
Time to go down; let's go home.
The Amphitheatre, Royal Natal National Park...stunning might be a superfluous comment.
Tiger Falls, Royal Natal National Park...without the falls in view.
Mount Everest Game Reserve, for those unable to cope with the real deal. A wonderful compact park. A little bit of a rocky climb to reach the summit.
Jen wanders through the wonderous Langalibalele Pass.
Verkykkop and Sphinx. Jen climbs toward the latter.
A window to the world.
Marvellous terrain.
Storms River stroll.
From The Sphinx.

Jen goes shopping for the latest fashions.

  And in the end, one cannot do justice to the multitude of sites and sights available for viewing. So, one posts a few photographs, struggles to select which make the cut, usually gets it wrong, while the rest remain in the clouds gathering moisture. At least, not dust, perhaps, rust.

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
