Feb 23-24

This weekend we went to Tsitsikamma National Forest. The first day was sweet, the second day was not. I don't have any pictures of Monkeyland or Birds of Eden (the places we went to on Sunday) that are worth putting up. I kind of feel self-centered for having so many pictures of me on here, but then I figured, it's my blog, right? And this time, all of my pictures are my own.

This dude is kind of my cousin - my aunt married his uncle. I think this was us demontstrating how much we like being related, or sitting together on the tour bus, or something like that.

We stayed at a Backpackers (aka hostel) for the night, and this was part of the view. We could have been in Montana.

Taking a walk on the trails - there was a picture where we were all looking at the camera but I like this one better.

We found a climbing wall! For kids... and we weren't really allowed to be on it without supervision. But let's be honest: I really put this picture up to show off my tan.

You can see the zipline in this picture, and another view, in the opposite direction of the first one. A zipline is where they put you in a really heavy harness and helmet and you are hooked onto a cable. You have a brake that you can pull down on, but mostly you just shoot across the line. Unfortunately I can't show what that looks like. Use your imagination.

After the zipline we swam in a deep rock pool, which was sweet, because not only could we jump in from a fairly tall board, but we could climb up on the rocks around it and jump in again. A combo of climbing and swimming - perfect. It was the most fun event, and the only part we didn't have to pay extra for.

WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?

After wandering through Monkeyland and Birds of Eden, we arrived at Tsitsikamma National Park to eat lunch and wander. I could have spent a whole day here.
