Hiking in Groot Constantia

Today's hike was in Groot Constantia:

More piccies of Groot Constantia can be seen at Groot Constantia Buildings and at Groot Constantia Mountainside.

We were well entertained by some baboons whom we encountered at various points along the hike:

with more piccies of baboons at Baboons in Groot Constantia.

Here is a very interesting tree:

Despite seemingly all efforts to kill it, it continues to grow.  The five 'uprights' are branches which have chosen to grow upward to bring light and air to the tree so that it can continue to live - a testimony to nature's survival in adversity.
