scenic route (blyde river canyon, south africa)

We have been blog delinquents! March was a busy month: Jennifer went back to the States for a wedding (congrats to the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Coscino!) and a Minneapolis visit, and Jim ran a science fair, an Eco Day, and exams for his students before "fall" break.

Jennifer's parents Tim and Karen came to visit for the last two weeks of March. We spent a few days in Cape Town together, and then toured the winelands of the Western Cape for a weekend before heading north to Johannesburg and driving to Kruger National Park. Here are some shots from the stunning end of our drive: the Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon.

We'll post photos from our first game drive today too.

Mac Mac Falls on the way to the Blyde River Canyon.


Another of the many waterfalls on the way to the canyon; this one was called the Berlin Falls.






Blyde River Canyon: the largest green canyon in the world (we aren't sure what that means!)

The "Three Rondawels" lookout: the three rock formations in the center of the photo are said to look like the mud/stone and thatch huts, called rondawels, common in villages and now resorts in the region.
