Catherine and I decided to spend the time up north to Limpopo and see the Blyde River Canyon. It is the 3 largest canyon in the world and the only green one!
To get there, we decided the best route was to rent a car. Although we rented a car before to go to St. Lucia, this was the first time I was going to drive here in South Africa.
The roads here are a bit different. Vehicles are driven on the left side of the road while the steering wheel is on the right. Plus most of the vehicles are manual transmission (thanks dad and grandpa for teaching me how to drive manual!!).
I took the first 5 hours of the drive and, to say the least, I was a bit nervous. It was a good thing that most of my driving took place on 2 major roads. I started off a bit rocky, but things smoothed out as I got used to it.
The driving conditions were pretty bad which made me more nervous. My half, I had rain, dense fog, and lots of twisty turny hills. Catherine got heavy wind, winding roads and lots of potholes. However! We made it and here we are at our hostel! Getting ready to enjoy a very nice week.
(I will post a driving video later on :) )
