Sabie, not graskop

So I left J'Burg and got on the Bazbus (backpacker bus) all intent to
goto Graskop through Sabie. It was a relatively long drive and as we
arrive it seems that the logistics of the plan would turn awry.
Fortunately, I met up a kind Dutchman who offered me a lift to
Graskop. Talking with him though, Sabie seemed like an adventure event
sort of town, so i decided to hang out with him.

A hang out turned into a 4 day stay at Sabie where we did some really
awesome activities, the best of it being kloofing. They suit you up
with a wetsuit and a helmet and you start at the shallow parts of a
river. From there you just follow the stream as far as you down as you
can go. The route took us past some of the most spectacular waterfalls
i've ever seen. The falls are like 60-80m tall and we get to the very
base of it. It doesn't end there though, cos you can get all the way
underneath them.

The most amazing one was Pixie falls, its about a 100 metre swim into
a very narrow canyon about 2 metres apart down to 1 metre when near
the falls. At the very top of the waterfall is a giant rock which fell
a long time away and funnels all the surrounding flow through this
narrow gap. There is light but all teh rocks in the area are very
dark, the only form of colour in the canyon is ureself. Once you get
there if your daring enough you can climb up about 10 metres and get
all the way underneath and behind it. The water really comes down hard
but it was well worth it! =P

In addition to that I did caving, tubing and abseiling down a
waterfall. It was all great fun, but the highlight i gotta say is when
the locals tooks us out to one of the local waterfalls in the middle
of the night. As you walk to the waterfall the ground, hanging vines
and the trees were sprinkled with glowing mushrooms, very eerie. Once
you reach the end of the path a waterfall becomes visible in the
moonlight...very kewl! From there we had a few beers, ate some
biscuits and chilled out for a bit. It's a shame something like that
could never be captured on film.

I've rested up more then i should so its time to move into Kruger
national park and see the wildlife. ciao ppls.
