@kanesnaps and I went heroically up the mountain by a new route (for me) and found that rock that looks like a camel from certain angles.
It was lovely up there, where the traffic noise suddenly disappears and you’re in this magic park in the sky filled with the astonishing diversity of plants in the fynbos botanical region.
Kane almost got bitten by a very unfortunate young puff adder that had been run over (almost certainly by accident since it was so well camouflaged on the road - such that Kane nearly didn’t see it too). Luckily some guys working up there arrived in a truck and ended it’s suffering with a sharp spade since it was way too injured to possibly survive.
Less unfortunate were the dozens of pretty little frogs that dove into the puddles by the path in nicely choreographed little sequences of plops as we walked by.
