WARNING -DO NOT VISIT IF YOU DISLIKE -Wild horses, Forests to walk in, Beathtaking views and friendly locals.
Upon arriving at Lambourne's cottage in Kaapsehoop Mia asks "Mommy is this where Faeries live ?" Not a far fetched question considering that I myself keep expecting Tinker to fly by. This is a magical garden filled with Birds, Butterflies,Ladybirds,Rock Dassies and the most gorgeous array of flowers. Even spiders look less scary here, for any of you that have watched the childrens movie 'Charlotte's web' you will know what I mean, they are too beautiful to be scary in this setting.
Mia is in the garden playing with her tea set and her imaginary (or not ) fairies , Nino is up on the rocks playing hide and seek with the Dassies and Damien is off on a hike to the escarpment. Me? Where am I you ask? I am in the Kitchen getting dinner ready while sipping on a gorgeous glass of Merlot. I want to cook in this kitchen! Who wouldn't with a view like mine out the kitchen window.
We awake to a beautiful day full of promise and head out on a hike to the
waterfall, not for the faint hearted or unfit BUT well worth it, we drink from the crystal clear steams as we move along and once down at the waterfall we bring out the food and drink and enjoy a tasty lunch.After the long hike we head back into town with a Stop at the Bohemian restaurant where I enjoy a much needed "Mustang cocktail (giner beer based)" which is made locally.
That evening we are all off to bed early and the next morning decide to start off the day with the famous pancakes from Koen 'N Pan. It could be the view or fresh mountain air but the EVERYTHING here tastes better!
We spend our week hiking,horse riding ,eating ,drinking and being VERY MERRY!
Before we head off Mia does one last walk through the garden to bid farewell to her new friends and outside I find Nino saying a sad farewell to a wild horse that has been kind enough to let us share this amazing mountain with him.
Visting Kaapsehoop and staying at Lambourne's specifically has made me realise just how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful country.
Anyone visting Mpumlanga should include Kaapsehoop on the itinerary!A truly breathtaking experience
Peace and Love are my wishes for all who read this and until we meet again Happy Travels
