Day 4

Today I woke up and went to see my dad, he was still asleep. Becky kindly made our breakfast (a bowl of Frosties!). We then left to find a map for all the trails. The morning sky was beautiful as the sun rose from behind the mountains. After that we went to the waterfall trail. It was a stony path through a wood by a river. We were hoping to see a crocodile but we only saw some bushbuck and a lizard. Overall the walk was very nice.

From here we went to see the dam wall and go into the visitor centre. There were all sorts in jars, and animal bones. It was very interesting. We went back to the resort and played mini golf for a while. Dad won, I came second and Becky came third. Becky fell over at the end though so we had to miss out the last hole.

After our game we went back to the chalet for lunch. I only had some sandwiches and crisps. Then we set off to go on a boat trip deep inside the Blyde River Canyon. The views from the boat were amazing, we could even see the viewpoint we had been looking down from a few days before!! We also saw a huge crocodile and some hippos!!

After the boat trip we went back to the resort and had a long relaxing swim in the pool. Finally to end the day we went back to the chalet for a BBQ! I had a chicken burger, smoked haddock, steak and a drink of fizzy fruit juice. We watched the animals and looked at the stars before writing our diaries and laying down to sleep.
