A Visit to Dullstroom

We got a chance to visit this fishing area called Dullstroom, our friends went out for the entire weekend and took Kelly along, then we met up with them for a night.  We stayed in cottages in the hills, when we first got there the owner drove us all to the top of his property in his cool Land Rover (we all packed in) then we got to hike down.


We think one of these old Land Rover Defenders would be so fun to drive around up in New Hampshire!
 It had a cute little town with shops, here is Charlie's favorite!  Greg and our friend Doug liked the whisky tasting shop!
 Katie got a "shot" of chocolate-in an edible chocolate glass!

We hiked to an old fort from the Anglo-Boer War, it was really just two round piles of rocks.

Our little cabin, very sweet!

 Greg and Charlie ran down to watch the train go past, Charlie loved smashing Rand coins (not pennies)!  It really felt like fall up here, leaves falling off trees, cool mornings & evenings.  We had a great dinner and fire at our friends cottage, then walked back down to our cottage, beautiful stars too!

The drive was about two hours, mostly highway, there are some scary areas in the middle where they have signs that tell you not to stop, they are highjacking hotspots, we followed their advice and kept motoring.

We also like seeing this sign...it says Wakefield, it might be hard to read
We hope to get to make another trip back to Dullstroom!
