12 Photos from Bushman’s Kloof, South Africa

–

Leaving the Kloof was hard. I’m not even going to pretend otherwise. It was blissful and beautiful and it pulled at my heartstrings a little to leave. Driving away, it felt like it was the last day of camp, or the morning after a really great slumber party (you know, the ones where no one breaks down crying and the first person to fall asleep doesn’t have peanut butter smeared on her toes by the other guests).

We’d had a lovely time, and we were happy about that, but damn it, it was hard to see it end. It was tough to say goodbye.

Reliving the experience, as I have over the last few weeks on the blog, has been delightful. But it’s now time to move on, once again. Before I figuratively drag you all back to Cape Town (and eventually, out of South Africa all together), I wanted to take one last look at Bushman’s Kloof. Here are twelve photos that I felt best captured our time there. You may have seen some of these before in my other posts; my apologies for that. I didn’t mind looking at them again, and I hope you don’t, either.
