We're back from our stolen (it still feels like that) long holiday to .za since last thursday and I'm still figuring out how to behave as an economically active being :-)

The trip has been a lot more 'disconnected' then I guessed before leaving: having an internet connection was most of the time just a luxury we could better do without. Also our mobile kind of traveling (we were mostly only 2 nights at the same place, with a max of 5 in the mother city) in combination with our flexible travel-plans (we mostly didn't make reservations further away then the next day, ready to react on tips from fellow guests in the backpacker accomodation) made the cellphone a more logical tool then stopovers in internet-cafe's.

So now that I didn't make regular travel notes over here I think it makes more sense to just drop some random memories as they pop up by some weird association connection in my head... Being back, the first association is about this sign up at BMC.

In the Central Drakensberg we hiked up from Monk's Cowl to Blind Man's Corner. The view from up there is it's own reward. Achieiving it with our Tuur (3y) and Fien (5y) who didn't even complain one bit during the 9 hours gave it some special ring. They were practicaly welcomed as heroes by the other hikers/guests upon arrival back in the inkosana lodge (the best accomodation we had)
