The panorama route is a tour through the Drakensberg Mountains and around the Blyde River Canyon where we were yesterday. We pass through a lot of forestry and fruit (trees) of all types. The area is partly high, so that was friendlier to fruit with lower temperatures. With the Canyon there is also water.

But we don't stop there, we pass a number of viewpoints. Elly goes down to the Bourke Luck potholes, on a path in the gorge that is not suitable for me. I took pictures of the birds near the large lawn near the restaurant and parking lot.
