Left, or, right, right is the way

First water crossing, a few more during the weekend, nothing major, all went well without mishaps

Home, for tonight

Some call it barbeque, we call it "braai", fire for the braai

Time for a "cold one" - beer

Dinner

And then a fire in the fireplace, parrafin lamp and a good evening chatting into the night

After a good night's rest, up and exploring the rest of the poort

Then, the end of the poort, but not the end of the road, still some time to get home and lots of gravel roads, time for a quick snack
