We all have these photos … throwback photos!

It’s described as ‘nostalgia-inducing pictures … from a different era of your life”.

Every Thursday we will throw a few photos of ‘way back when’ on our blog. Why on a Thursday? Because it’s just a day away from the weekend … and we love weekends!

You are welcome to join in or just enjoy the photos (#TB Thursday).

September 2018 – Cederberg Mountains (Western Cape Province, South Africa)

In last week’s TB Thursday post, we introduced you to the Cederberg Mountains. Fast forward now 11 years later and we are back in these spectacular mountains.

This time friends invited us to visit friends of theirs on a farm in the Cederberg Mountains. As it was spring, we had lovely weather. We spent our days at the farm dam, where some enjoyed a quick swim.

We also took long walks to the river where we saw many birds and just enjoyed the tranquility.

Something else that is always great to watch are the sunsets. To see how the sun colours the mountains in deep shades of orange remains a beautiful view.

On our last night, while sitting outside, we saw a donkey cart approaching. It was a small family on their way back home and they waved happily as they passed us.

Well rested after a lovely weekend, we left the farm a little reluctantly. It was wonderful to experience the genuine hospitality of the people here. Fortunately, we were still able to experience the beautiful surroundings on our way home.

After reaching another mountain stream, we decided to stop for a while. Here we sat with our feet in the water, while enjoying lunch. There are few things better than that.

We love the Cederberg Mountains
