I am participating in Judy’s Number Game 53

These are photos numbered 174 that I found in the archive. They brought back some happy memories.

The wind blows in Struisbaai making it a paradise for kite-surfers. I love watching them. I have some great videos of them doing spectacular jumps high into the air. Getting good photos is difficult as they travel so fast. Yes it is a scary sport!

Our present home was once our holiday retreat. It was a happy place to take our kids and later our grandkids along with two chosen friends each! The braai was always the favourite way to prepare meals especially when they were allowed to toast their marshmallows before dinner!

Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park is a vast and stunning wildlife reserve in South Africa and Botswana. We visit often and enjoy the breathtaking desert landscapes and abundant wildlife.

We once visited Lake Naverone in the Southern Drakensberg. It has scenic mountain views and the lake is perfect for trout fishing.

Sani Pass is a mountain pass situated in the western part of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, along the road connecting Himeville, KwaZulu-Natal, and Mokhotlong, Lesotho. The pass crosses the Great Escarpment of southern Africa in its highest region, the Drakensberg Mountains, which rise to over 3,000 meters in elevation. It has to be done in a 4×4 vehicle. It can be scary but the views are spectacular.
