HIKING AROUND KOSIBAY LAKES

Yes, you read right - hiking as in walking. Something we love to do but don’t get around to very often. It seems every time we get invited to do something with Gerhard and Lulu there is hiking involved. I don’t know who loves it more Salome or myself. The only thing I...

The trip down from Golden gate to Amatikulu had it's share of surprises as we stopped at several little towns on the way. We always try to take the alternative and hopefully quieter, more scenic roads. We had to stop at Sterkfontein dam for some pictures and had a few...

Golden Gate

TWO TRACKS

This is the story of us, two people with two sets of tracks.  Sometimes the two tracks merge into one as we follow in one another’s footsteps and sometimes these tracks diverge with our personalities coming through. This blog is for us to share our adventures and photographs, from weekend hiking trips to international over-landing expeditions. Follow our two tracks as we explore this incredible planet or ours.
