Drakensbergs in Royal Natal National Park

The scenery throughout the Drakensberg Mtns. is spectacular. The national park is quite small, but we saw scenes similar to this as we drove for miles down to the southern part of the chain. We took a hike in the park along a cascading stream. The hike was short because it was very sunny with the temperature about 90 F.

We thought you might be interested in some of our favorite foods here in S.A. Of course there is the biltong (like American beef jerky); Judy has eaten lots of calamari--the best was in Cape Town; Phil enjoyed the wild springbok; vetkoek w/mince is a fried roll filled with small bits of beef, carrots, potatoes and seasoning; ginger beer is similiar to root beer; koeksisters is fried doughnuts soaked in syrup--high calorie; the fruits and fresh juices are outstanding.
