Morning spent exploring the rock formations and clambering
up the giant granite rocks. We managed
to climb to the top of the kopjie behind our camp – the heat making even this
small climb exhausting. We then tried to
clamber up a much bigger rock face but a huge ravine prevented us from
reaching our target. Our third attempt
at a climb took us up a very steep sheet of granite which again proved to be a
bit too ambitious but it was fun trying!
We decided that we had perhaps better just walk around the kopjies
rather than trying to climb them but even this turned out to be quite tricky as
we were now walking in the mid-day sun but it was a beautiful walk and we made
it back to camp with water to spare. The
rest of the day was slightly less energetic though – lunch in the camp café
followed by a leisurely afternoon in the shade reading.
