Sean Leather > We next went to God's Window located in the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. Here's the description from the sign: "God's Window, overlooking the Lowveld and the escarpment, is in the mist belt. This zone is created when warm moist air rising from the Lowveld cools and its moisture condenses at these high altitudes of over 1500 metres. These characteristics give high rainfall, cool and often overcast summers and relatively cold winters. "Rivers of the Lowveld depend on the escarpment catchment for their flow. Damage to the escarpment's natural vegetation by forestry development and overgrazing seriously damages its capacity to recharge the rivers serving the people and the Kruger Park in the Lowveld.
Sean Leather > Another sign for the Paul Kruger Gate just after the entrance. Standing above are the South African National Parks flag and national flag.
Sean Leather > After a pleasant night with the family, we drove approximately 6 hours to the Kruger National Park and entered at the Kruger Gate.
Sean Leather > The next day we went to the Sterkfontein Caves, part of the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sean Leather > Eersel has its own street-side sign informing you of the direction of interesting places in town.
Sean Leather > A store called "The Kangaroo." I don't know what it sells, though.
Sean Leather > Echinacea, called here "red sun hat."
Sean Leather > Thyme.
Sean Leather > Absinthe.
