Krom River Hike

Being here made me realize how spoiled we Slovenians are. Coming from such a small and diverse country, where everything is within 2h reach:) Mountains, vineyards, the whole 46km of our sea.. That is the reason why I'm not so easily impressed by Cape Town, but I can understand why other people fall in love with this Mother city almost instantly. Beautiful beaches, magnificent mountain rising from the sandy coastline, botanical gardens, natural parks and on the other side rich cultural and especially night life:)

Last weekend we hiked up this river gorge full of pools. It reminded me of Iski Vintgar. W went all the way up, to the waterfalls which were beautiful. In order to get there quit a bit of easy climbing had to be done and some of the people I went with were more equipped for the beach than climbing.. But we all made it to the top and dipped in ice cold water. It turned out that all that beach stuff won't come in handy after all:)

The river has this orange colour that makes you think twice before you jump in:)  On the way we had a chance to enjoy cactuses, fynboss, termites, bugs...something totally different to what I'm used to back in Europe.
