A FUN DAY ON THE VAAL RIVER


It was amazing to be back on a river, rafting. This made me almost want to swop my bicycle for a canoe for a while. Tempting...





Dante had enough of us chicks, so he decided to abandon ship and join Skit. Much more exciting, and comfortable.
It was a truly beautiful day, and everybody was quite amazing. Lucas and Skit were insightful and brilliant guides if ever you need one in these parts. The entire group were great fun, and had no problems with the cameras in their faces all day.
We arrived at Hadeda Creek, managed by Pieter. Gert, the barman, were leaving in two days, after working here for a couple of years. They were seriously entertaining, and had many stories to tell, so we stayed for a couple of drinks before going back to The Dell.
