I once visited town which was having jacaranda festival. There were lot of blossoms all over the town, but not as glorious as ones in your photo!

Es ist aber auch alles sehr anstrengend, wenn ich das mit den 2 Stunden Schlaf lese nach der Anstrengung des langen Fluges und allem! Das ist nicht jedermanns Sache! Aber solange man jung und gesund genug ist ...<br /><br />Der lila blühende baum ist wunderbar, Jacaranda kenne ich, wollte ich gerade fragen.

I am quite envious of your and Pieter's travel adventures. I can see that you were treated royally in South Africa once you arrived.
