Day 4 - Clarens
Just 1km from camp this Boon family
Clarens is a very interesting little town and if you go there take a lot of money because you WILL want to buy something
We however had some Clarens beer and chips
On our way back to Glen Reenen we stopped at the Van Reenen Grave yard
Then back at camp I went walk about in camp and got some birdies
Pied Starling
Red-eyed Bulbul
Olive thrush
Next some more birdies

Last photos of our trip
Black wildebeest
Red Hartebeest at the vulture restaurant
Bald Ibus
Swallow
Cape vulture
Scenery
Khahla Watsonia lepida
And that friends was our trip to Goldengate Nasional Park
I will visit again but will stay in the hotel or the mountain houses and not for that long maybe 2 days or so
The scenery and landscapes in this park is awesome and breathtaking and one should visit this park at least once
Thank you everyone for your comments and for joining us on our trip
