Aquila Day 1

2-52pm

Roll of drums….internet access in our room…free wi-fi! Boom! Quick blog to post and we are out of here to do our first safari. We left this morning and drove through cloud on Ou Kaapse Weg…

Mist on Ou Kaapse wegWe got onto the N1 and went through the tunnel. Then Mike & I swapped and I drove for a while. The mountains of Worcester are beautiful…

Hex river mountains first stop and goBeyond Worcester is the Hex River Valley. We have not driven this route for many years and there are a couple of stop/go roadworks in place and many trucks….I wonder how long we will wait at this one…

Wonder how long this one will beIt turns out, it wasn’t long….but a beautiful picture was taken…(gratitude pic)…

Hex river stop and goNot much later we arrived at our destination…

Arrival at AquilaWe were in time for a slap up buffet lunch in the spacious dining room…

Inside the dining roomThen we were taken to our chalet….

Aquila bedroom….which is very comfortable and has an outdoor shower! 😀

Outdoor showerIt also has a lovely cool veranda (where I’m sitting) and a very peaceful view of lots of trees and a river running by. Lots and lots of birdsong. It’s all I can hear.

River view from our room

We are going on a 2 hour tour to find some animals. It is awesomely hot. It reminds me of Zimbabwean highveld in summer.

Peaceful. So peaceful. Peace is a gift.

John 14:27 – words of Jesus…

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

I hope to have more tomorrow. You never know though, with these remote places, the internet may be a bit iffy. If this blog doesn’t appear, it probably means the internet is down.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you!

In His Grip,

Helga xx 🙂
