Back through a tunnel of time. Our KZN road trip, “old school”…

” Yesterday is already a dream ,and tomorrow is only a vision, 
today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness 
and every tomorrow a vision of hope”

One final look at our KZN road trip.
In a hint of sepia…
My wife at the Howick Falls…
and no, it was not REALLY that cold.

Lots of bikers going in both directions…coast-wards and inland
We bumped into them for most of the week that we were in the province

Carolyn at the Nelson Mandela Capture site.
A must visit for everyone
We were there on Freedom Day (a public holiday here in SA)

Got to love ’em goats…

In a land of faltering electricity supply,

so we saw 100%

Nguni cow…
Very special
