Hiking at Monk's Cowl. I was looking forward to hiking in the beautiful Drakensberg mountains. Unfortunately, we had the only rainy days of the trip while we were in this area, and the mountains were hidden in the clouds! But we still enjoyed hiking around one park, seeing waterfalls and baboons. This was a beautiful area, and the scenery kept changing, so it always seemed new. The low clouds and fog also added to the beauty of the trip.
We did two long loops, then came back to the car, ate some food, and started out again. Unfortunately, this route was all up hill, and my body could only do so much after two weeks of sitting. I asked Mike if we could turn around before reaching our destination (the Sphinx) and he very nicely agreed. All in all, a very nice day.
We headed back to the B&B for a nice dinner and a relaxing evening. It was good to spend these days out of the car. Added some real relaxation to our trip.
