Zulu weaving paterns

Sundays Falls / Fairy Glen Trail
The Sundays Falls hike is probably one of the easiest short trails in the Royal Natal National Park and we set out one morning while camping there to see what the Sundays Falls look like. As usual Chaos Boy was in the lead and Drama Princess tried her best to persuade us that it would … Continue reading Sundays Falls / Fairy Glen Trail
