Moonrise over Magaliesberg


Goodnight, Magaliesberg!  Beth and I had a nice day exploring the Magalies area, including a visit to the Harbeesport Dam area (the Pretoria Riviera), a country market, and Maropeng, which is one of the World Heritage Cradle of Humankind sights in the area.  The oldest human ancestors (Mrs. Ples and Little Foot) have been found in the area, so they've created a very nice museum to tell the story of the importance of the area in terms of human evolution.  The museum is modern, interactive, and even includes a boat ride through water, ice, wind and fire (kind of random and Disney-esque but fun).

We made sure we made it back to the farm in daylight today to avoid the walk uphill in the dark again, and are settling in for a night of soccer, wine purchased at one of the wineries in Stellenbosch, and a DIY dinner from the local store.  We've got to be up early tomorrow to take our canopy tour (aka ziplining).
