We drove the very scenic route through the Blyde River Canyon area. There are lots of waterfalls and the canyon is the 3rd largest in the world. The road climbs up into the mountains then follows the canyon edge. There are lots of pull outs with fabulous views of the canyon. The day we arrived in Graskop, the beginning of the scenic drive for us, was very foggy. You could only see a small part of the road, nothing else. The following two days cleared up and we were able to enjoy the views. We lucked out.

| All of the falls and viewpoints had souvenir venders. They had nice stuff for sale, but we did not buy because there is no room in the van. The cloth for sale was always hanging, blowing in the wind. Always temping, but I still have not bought any. |
