On Sunday, we decided to do a Geocache at the Mermaid Pools.It was such an interesting and remarkable place. It made one think about how powerful and breathtaking nature can be. If it had been warmer I would've swum in the pools!

At the Mermaid Pools layers of fossilised trees in amongst the sandstone have been exposed due to the Mlambonja River carving into the layers of rock. The fossilised trees stick out due to their charcoal colour in contrast to the whiteish sandstone.

On Monday we spent the day in Himeville. We stopped at Kenmo Lake, which is on a piece of land that a family has opened to the public. We found a Geocache there and took plenty of photos of the picturesque scenery. I could only imagine how stunning it would've been a few weeks earlier when the trees flourished in the autumn colours.
The rest of the week we mostly spent time relaxing, playing board games, and of course roasting marshmallows next to the fireplace! That is what I love most about vacationing in the Drakensberg- there is no pressure to rush or bustle about. The peaceful, quiet and tranquil atmosphere allows for complete relaxation
(absolute bliss!).
