Ah. The ultimate gataway vacation for you, eh?
A bucket list item for me...

Indeed - made all the more attractive as we have some very good friends in SA. One of them worked at and managed this holiday venue. Sadly, she left the job last year and so it is unlikely we will see this particular view again.

I may never get to go at all, so your memories in pictures are probably my eyes for now. Thanks for sharing.

I am happy to share my memories. It is a pleasure for me to relive those memories through DA. Equally I shall look forward to seeing your memories; the reality I will, almost certainly, never see for myself. Thank you in anticipation!

I am honored to be of service, Ma'am. I will gladly be your eyes and ears in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Although I'm very much sensitive about the himalayas (its cloud, mist, sun, the turns and twists and lots and lots of vividly coloured tiny flowers), I must admit that this is also a very very peaceful and calm place - far from the maddening crowd. I wish to be there right at this moment. Thank You for such a beautiful show.

Yes, as we approach our cold British winter the photo is a reminder of beautiful views and long, hot summer days. Your Himalayas sound truly wonderful. Perhaps you will share many photos of your very special country, in the future.Β
Thank you for the lovely comment.

You and me both! This was only about 25 miles away from where you were in Spier.Β

Thank you Β - it was certainly a breathtaking view. Not sure if that makes it harder to take a photo, as you can never do it justice.

I could never tire of that view - such a shame that it's over 6000 miles away.

It's certainly a most Β beautiful country: probably the most spectacular I have ever visited but, there are less than pretty parts .... as a tourist you try to avoid them!Β

If you are interested, my gallery has a South Africa folder - there are only a few photos in there, as yet but it would give you a taster of South African scenery.Β
As for visiting - it would certainly be an experience. Personally, I love the place.
