I’d heard all about this bridge, and was certain I couldn’t walk over it. I’m scared of heights.
I wasn’t always scared of heights – I climbed trees as a lightie – then one day, walking along the top of a tall wall – I was attacked by vertigo and I’ve never recovered.
Having survived the Sauer Bridge, a distance upstream, I decided to give this one a go…and it was easy peasy. I’m thinking perhaps with moving water, my vertigo has no point of reference to adhere to. My brain appears happy with moving water, but not moving ground! Go figure…
I took this photo from the middle of the bridge, looking up the river mouth…worth braving the bridge hey? Look at the lovely yellow rocks the area is famous for.
And do I have proof? Yup. Look at me – no hands!There is a cute first-world board-walk to get to the suspension bridges….maybe one day there will be one to Inanke Cave in the Matopos???
Some of the views from here are stunning – I had to poke the camera through the forest though…
Look at this luminous green colour on the rocks. The waves boom into here at high tide. (PS – this is also taken off one of the suspension bridges…boast boast…)
This view is from the boardwalk – high up against the hillside. It got pretty stormy after four in the afternoon.
I think there is a cave in there…would love to investigate one day
Not been there for some time so it was lovely to catch up on the pictures.
Thanks – it was a wonderful day – slightly stormy and atmospheric
