I was nominated by my blogging friends Darlene Foster and Carol Taylor and to post one favourite travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel pictures, and 10 nominations. It doesn´t have to be 10 consecutive days. Thanks, Carol and Darlene!
My day 3 post which you can find here: https://robbiesinspiration.wordpress.com/2021/01/19/travel-challenge-day-3/ depicted scenery from our trip to Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the Free State province of South Africa.

Great news. So you will have a little bit more time, and only one “homeschooling target”. 😉 I hope the virus will leave asap, and we all will have a much more better future. Thank you, Robbie! Have a wonderful Thursday too! Michael

Hi Wayne, these were taken a few years ago. My boys are young [and a bit tubby] in these pictures. They are now much taller and slimmer. We did go away for three days after New Year to a remote and rural part of the country. We hardly saw anyone at all. That’s been it though for ages.

Such a dramatic landscape, Robbie. I don’t know why, but I always think of S. Africa as flat (probably the influence of television). Wow, was I wrong. Beautiful country.

That is interesting, Diana. South Africa is not flat at all. There are a number of mountain ranges and there is a lot of beautiful and amazing countryside.

I know, but it still surprises me to see it. So odd. Too many safari movies, I think. When my mom first came to the US from Europe, she landed in New York and was so disappointed that she didn’t see any cowboys. Lol. I guess it runs in the family.
