Dragon Mountain is a truly magical place, and it is not hard to see why this is one of South Africa is a major tourist destination. I recently spent five days, and then, I never bored.
We stayed in a house in the small town of Underberg. Although it has really only two tarred road this city is a growing trend, and is a popular destination for residents from the town of Durban. We had decided to spend the next morning we tried the basic fly fishing skills to a Friend dam. We rose early and is in the middle of winter, wrapped themselves in layers of clothing as much as possible. The dam looked like something from a story book. Glare, as a mirror reflects the surrounding snow capped mountains and is sometimes broken down by duck swimming through a fine mist rising. I managed to get stuck in the fly after taking off my shoes, I stepped on Pebbles on the shore and to my horror heard the ice-distribution. The sound caused me to change my plan or wading into the water to unhook fly. Day temperature well, and after not fishing for trout, we headed home. Afternoons are devoted to do a hike. Sani Pass Hotel, we list tours and reception, of course, we thought it appropriate, healthy young people, recommended a hike to read that "in a few steep sections. So when we got to the top of the" hill "I was ready to surrender and let the vultures to me but the views were spectacular and well worth a climb.
The following day we decided to drive up Sani Pass into Lesotho. This is the road that leads up to the pass in the mountains and is named after San people that inhabited the area. It is important to have a 4x4 and pass port, because you go through the two South African and Lesotho border posts. The road was quite rough, but manageable, and although it is only 8 km from the top of the SA border takes about 2 hours to enjoy the drive. Grass covered sunny northern slopes stöd stands in stark contrast to the south-facing slopes, which have been overshadowed and covered with snow. The scene was breath-taking by rival some of the best in the world. There are many places to get off the road and take memorable photos or simply enjoy the mountains. At the top of the card is a small village with stone huts all surrounded by snow and Lesotho border post where we found the border officials huddled around the fireplace. This icy wind soon drove us to the highest pub in Africa, where hot chocolate was gulped down. I happened to notice that none of the beverages were stored in the fridge, but when I step outside I realized why not.
On the second to last day we drive Cobham Nature Reserve to another day of tourism. Input costs us R20, and we bought a pamphlet showing us the paths to hike. We decided on a hike, which lead us along the rivers. We were not disappointed, with mountains on both sides of us walked the trail soaking in the countryside and stopping often to sit on a rock beside the river and marveled at the crystal-clear mountain pools. We were lucky to see a small herd of Eland, including the huge Eland bull and soldiers from the baboons. We even took a break to drink from ice cold water from the rivers.
Later that night, as we sat in antique weapons Himeville enjoying a beer next to a hot fire, I found myself feeling sad to leave this place, but create a mental note definitely return.
