Day 4 - Clarens

Just 1km from camp this Boon family



Clarens is a very interesting little town and if you go there take a lot of money because you WILL want to buy something

We however had some Clarens beer and chips





On our way back to Glen Reenen we stopped at the Van Reenen Grave yard





Then back at camp I went walk about in camp and got some birdies

Pied Starling



Red-eyed Bulbul



Olive thrush



Next some more birdies

And that friends was our trip to Goldengate Nasional Park

The scenery and landscapes in this park is awesome and breathtaking and one should visit this park at least once

Thank you everyone for your comments and for joining us on our trip
