After heading in towards town on Saturday we headed the other direction on Sunday to visit Howick - about a 30 minute cab ride away.
Howick offers the discerning visitor 2 things.
A spectacular waterfall ( 4th highest in South Africa I believe)
... and a range of craft stalls and shops
The falls were impressive and if you look carefully in the photo you may spot some people at the top doing their washing - must be quite a view from there.
Craft stalls had a good range of items for sale including lots of bead work which seems to be a local specialty. I bought an iguana style one to go with a couple of others that we have already.
For me there was another attraction.... The chance to get my first geocache find in South Africa :-). The magnetic nano that is "Howick History" (sign up to Geocaching.com may be needed for that link to work) was placed just outside the local museum.
A quick search and it was in hand and a new personal record for the most southerly geocache found as well as my first cache over 5000 miles from home and indeed my most easterly find so far.
