Barberton: A Historic Town in South Africa
Some scenes from picturesque town and environs of Barberton in South Africa's Mpumalanga province. This region is home to some of Earth's oldest rocks, and these form the basis of the Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail, a self-guided tour of the Barberton Greenstone Belt. In 2018, UNESCO designed the area as a World Heritage site because it represents the best-preserved succession of volcanic and sedimentary rock dating back 3.6 to 3.25 billion years and forms a diverse repository of information on surface conditions, meteorite impacts, volcanism, continent-building processes and the environment of early life.
My thanks to Lionel Meyer, proprietor of Bubez Guesthouse, for taking me off the beaten track to show me some of the waterfalls and spectacular landscapes in the hills around Barberton. Thanks too to the members of the geological team working at the Barberton Museum for showing me around their research facility and explaining their work.

KAAPSEHOOP, MPUMALANGA, SOUTH AFRICA!
Kaapsehoop or Kaapschehoop is one of those magical places where it's true essence cannot be captured on video or photo. It's happy, beautiful, cold and spooky all at the same time. It's full of adventure and yet perfect for laying low and in silence.
We had so much fun meandering down forest paths on the local Scootours; hiked to a secluded waterfall and had a cold shower; drank craft beer at the best pub ever, Nagkantoor; and had the most amazing smoked meats and sour dough bread at the Bohemian Groove Cafe.
And not to forget the amazing De Kaap Valley escarpment.
We stayed at Caelum II, a warm and comfy home, that turns into a ghost house once the lights go out :)
I think I left a little bit of my heart behind. I'll definitely be back.
