From Across the Pond...

First hike with my new boots (Kalk Bay)

It's been a while since Lindsey and I last hiked anything, so we picked an easy one with more sights than exercise. The highlight was this cave, which went a few hundred meters through to the other side of the mountain. I haven't been in one for years, and the chilly, drippy rooms couldn't have been more pleasing. At first we mistakenly entered another cave nearby, which wanes down to an uncomfortable belly crawl and quickly loses you in a comb of dead ends and cul de sacs, never actually going out the other side. Not knowing there were multiple caves, I played the man and wormed onward, but eventually Lindsey had had enough and disappeared the other way, giving me all I could to keep up with her distant flashlight and rear-end scuffing at high speed back toward daylight. Realizing later the possibility of cornering a puff adder with my face, this was probably the best decision... and anyway, the second cave was much more spacious and beautiful.
