Day 47(Feb 20)- Drakensberg, South Africa

Today Tibor went on a longer hike to the top of a local mountain and I walked around the lodge. We both had great times. Tibor hiked in the rain and I walked around between rainy periods.

Later in the day, we went out to look for birds in the nearby ponds. We completely forgot about our afternoon 4-wheel drive. Luckily the guide came and found us. The drive ended up going up towards the same mountain Tibor hiked to earlier in the day. It was a very steep road and Tibor figured he could walk faster than the 4-wheel was going. We had our sundowner (drink and snack) at the nearby ridge.

We saw two secretary birds in a tree on the afternoon drive! Very interesting as they are usually in the grass hunting for snakes to eat.

We spent the evening packing since we are heading back to Durban tomorrow.
