Watervalboven Weekend Away

For those of you who read my previous post (the protected post), you’ve already read a bit about my weekend away. For those of you who haven’t read the post, you can e-mail me if you want the password. I’m happy to give it to my friends & regular readers – its just not the kind of information I want to share with some of the creeps on the internet.

Well, last weekend we went awayto Watervalboven. We stayed there in a cabin on a trout farm, or lodge – whatever… Though we don’t do trouting, we did go for a 15km hike to a waterfall, which was pretty awesome. The water was clear, like it always is, and also FREEZING cold. I wasn’t brave enough to dip in, but my boyfriend managed to spend a full 5 seconds in the water – 4 diving in, and 1 second, almost walking on the water to get out. I’ve never seen someone get so cold… The whole weekend was just so relaxing – we didn’t have electricity (at least we had running water), so we ended up braaiing & snacking on fruit and stuff. We had to make a fire to heat up our shower water (otherwise known as a donkey). Also the shower & toilet was outside. This was pretty scary as I had to go pee all alone one night. The wind was blowing, and it had just rained earlier, so there were frogs and snails and who knows what else walking & jumping around. With my over-active imagination I also picutured snakes and spiders and who knows what other creature. I actually once saw a bat, in day light!! It was hiding in the logs that made up the wall of the toilet. It looked pretty innocent, but still – not my favourite type of animal. I got some nice photo’s – specially of the Monday morning’s sunrise. Everything was just so clear and clean and amazing.

Here are some of the photo’s of our hike!
