Started off slow. J and I have yogurt with chocolate chips for breakfast, I stuck to tea, while he had 3 cups of coffee. Around 11am we went out to Blyde River Canyon for some hiking.  We went to a small waterfall and took some photos, J was in his happy place.  We then hiked down to the bottom of the cayon--just remember, if you go down, you have to come back up--and it sucks.  I got a great panoramic shot and a few good ones of J as well.

After our hike we went to Moholoholo Ya Mati for lunches.  I had a chicken bake with spinach and mozzarella cheese and a beer while I had chicken curry and hot coco- total bill R220 (16R=$1) so about $16 including tip.

Andre made a big deal about the chapel on the property and while pretty it wasn't anything special, the food on the other hand is worth coming back for.

After we got back--around 3pm I decided to give the shower another go, as I was sweaty.  J was kind enough to make sure it was warm enough for me, and we found the trick:

      Crank the hot water all the way on, then when there is steam coming from the shower, turn on the cold tap just s smidgin to cool it down a touch and drastically increase the water pressure. 

5 minutes later shower was done, got in sweats and jumped into my bed to warm up and watch a movie.  J brought a cup of tea before going into the kitchen to read his book. 

More stew for dinner tonight relaxing day tomorrow, then back to joburg
