I took a day off to spend some time with some good mates from Round Table in The Netherlands on a trip to Durban. Obviously the camera came along.
The Valley of a Thousand Hills
From Pietermaritzburg our first stop was at the valley overlooking KwaXimba. This is a spot I found when I was working in Cato Ridge and I have been back there quite a lot.

Nchanga and Botha’s Hill
This is a part of the Comrades Marathon route. A tough section for the down run with stunning scenery. We stopped on the side of the road to soak in the endless valley of a thousand hills. We visited the reptile farm at the PheZulu Safari Park and stopped off at a roadside ‘shopping’ spot. Then we hit the road to Durban…
