Is it possible to be more wow'ed on this trip?...yes it is...we spent the morning at the U of Witwatersrand in the hominid vault for a two hour tour of the Origin of Species building. We learned and saw some of the earliest fossils ever discovered from plants to dinosaurs to mammals to humans. From there, we went to the Sterkfontein Caves to see tour the cave where some of these fossils were discovered. Today's piece alone was worth the trip to South Africa...and as our guide Anthony said, today was the best experience of his year...that's saying something from this guy!

Showering up and prepping to head to the airport...

Made it full circle back to the Aero Lodge in Johannesburg. We left the Drakensburg Mountains yesterday after an early morning hill workout, followed by a game of cricket with some local kids at the campground and a stop in the Zulu village outside the park gates. While touring the village, wee were invited to a Zulu ceremony to celebrate the life of a villager's mother passing. At a point, they started performing a Zulu warrior dance and had all of the guys in the group join in. Amazing experience!
Van is packed and we are moments away from going to the hominid vault and fossil caves before our loooooooong trip back. Hoping to sleep better on the return flight.
