This is not actually a "leg", because we did things in and around Graaff-Reinet. Firstly, we took a stroll through the beautiful town, I even found an electronics shop open on a Sunday (!), which could sell me a charger for my phone, which I intelligently accidentally left in Cape Town. The Valley of Desolation was spectacular! We then headed off to the Camdeboo National Park, spread over three areas. Yes, we did see a Rhino, but it moved away so fast, that we did not get a proper photo. What? you might ask... Snowfall in Africa? Indeed, though not at the time we were there. I think is was close to 40 Degrees Celsius at the time.   Our travel companion: Antje    K (the cousin) and, yes, a rare picture of me, myself and Irene :)   The beautiful view from the top into the valley. Camdeboo promised these beasties, but we did not see any. We were not sure whether they actually exist in the park.....

Because of all the rain, like I said before all the elephants were on the other side of the park (which we saw when we left the area)   See, a whole herd!!! We then headed towards the Mountain Zebra National Park, where we saw a lot of wildlife. The area was quite dry, as you can see.  It's not called "Zebra" park for nothing:)  My little car had to negotiate some real steep roads in that park. And this was our little room for the first night in Graaff-Reinet. Beautiful little town. Will come back one day, promise!! The rain that night was unbelievable, so much so, that the internet was taken out and the next day being a Sunday, there was no chance that we could get into the net :( bummer
