Sleeping on the platform outside the cabin is very nice. It is also a bit chilly and the full moon was like a 100W lamp in a bedroom! Waking up is perhaps the best part. You open up your eyes and…
Wow, a new day begins! But Marie is not eager to leave the bed and…
…Hanna and Saga are still asleep…
…so I will have to do this morning walk by myself. 
These first moments of the sun rising are magical. Slowly everything changes, colors and shadows, second by second…
There is a nice path to the north, following the rim. 
It was a quick walk but with several breaks. Wow, is this a beautiful place!?
With everyone awake and after a good breakfast it was time for another walk, to the south. By now most of the clouds were gone, the sky was blue and the air very clear. 
The father…
…the daughter…
…and the mother with “the Landys”.
Swedish Marie and Anders…
…English Jo and Gary…
…and the man from far away, Peter!
My love…
..and another. Hanna stayed at the lodge so Saga had to do the mandatory creation herself.
Well done Saga!
After the walk a few hours were spent reading…

Me, Peter and the girls ended the day with a sun-downer drive along the rim. The clouds were rolling in and the temperature dropped. We saw a Kudu and two black eagles and with the low sun and the clouds the landscape again changed in appearance….
If you ever get the opportunity to come here – don’t hesitate! It is wonderful!
