Hoedspruit - Day Excursion...

Down a dirt road.....
After we left Jessica, Brass organised a visit to a 3000 yr old Baobab tree and a divine meal of pancakes and smoothies at the nearby restaurant.

              I just love this view of the mountains


Oh!! and we passed this unusual watch dog along the way to the Baobab tree and restaurant!




A wishing well outside  the restaurant



Our group approaching the old tree that has collapsed from its enormous weight

Look at the size of the tree branch in comparison to the size of Brass's small body!! It's incomprehensible!




It's sooo big that one could move in and live there!





My angel and Stefan. He's also a fellow student who hails from Cape Town. His parents took the long drive up from there to attend their son's graduation as well.



Part of the fallen tree!



  





Came across these "half mens" tree - (Afrikaans for "half human tree). Their strange shapes resemble the human form reaching upwards!





Thanks for stopping by! See you next time for a look at our delicious meal of pancake and....
