The Road Back Home

Well, here at last is our final post about our trip to the Kruger National Park. Thank you to everyone who viewed the posts and also for all the lovely comments. :) 

We really had a wonderful time and the Lord blessed us so! Just being out in nature is a blessing itself, and it was wonderful to be in the bush, to see millions of stars in the very dark night sky, breathe such pure air and just relax and enjoy everything. Our time there seemed so short though and soon it was time to take the long road back home.

Leaving the Kruger Park at Phalaborwa Gate

This photo was taken just outside the town of Phalaborwa.

The long road stretching into the distance, at least the drive home is a scenic one. :)

Part of the Drakensberg Mountain Range, the "Dragon Mountains" as it translates in English. In Zulu these mountains are named, "uKhahlamba" (the Barrier of Spears) - this mountain range is the highest and longest in South Africa.

Passing through the town of Ohrigstad.

The road winds up and down through mountain passes, some are long and high with sheer drops on the side down into valleys.

Villages on the side of the road

If you look carefully near the top of this picture you will see the road winding up again.

Wind-swept :)

Looking back at part of the road we had traveled and the tunnel we had to pass through.

South African roads are not always in the best condition and one often has to swerve and zig-zag to try and avoid the potholes.

So thankful to the Lord for a lovely time away and a safe journey!

"Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name."
