Monkeys in a tree. They had crossed the road a few minutes earlier and sat there laughing at us.

The view from Gods Window. There are a number of view spots along an area when the land drops 1000ft. On a clear day you can see across the Kruger Game park and into Mozambique. Notice the dirt roads in the pine plantations below, many people go out that way just to ride the dirt.

Pilgrims Rest. An old mining town is now a living museum.

View of the Three Rondavels. This is in the Blyde canyon, the third largest in the world.

View of the Blyde Dam. We normally ride round the back of the canyon for lunch at a resort at the dam.

The weather was a little heavy heading up Long Tom Pass. They can get snow in winter.

The Pinnacle. This is down the road from God's window, another spectacular view.
