Rainforest - or the Big Trees of South Africa

Rainforest
Next stop (it was still pouring rain) was the big trees. We were in San Francisco earlier that year and saw a lot of mammoth trees there, so we were curious about the big trees of South Africa! We hiked for maybe 1,5h there as well and we really felt like in the middle of the rain forest!
The big trees here look much like the ones in California. They are way not so huge, but the structure of the bark is alike. While in California it is Redwoods, in South Africa it is Yellowwoods. They seem to be able to stand fire as well and grow very old and very tall.


We were totally soaked through after that and hungry. We drove on and found a wonderful little farm stall that sold cheese and bread. They had a tiny restaurant and they served hot lentil soup that day. That was the best that could have happened to us: Tee, warm soup and a blanket. We would have bought way more than we did, but unfortunately we ran out of cash in exactly that moment and my credit card had died on my a few days ago.
