Hot Springs Holiday!

We had booked a holiday in April this year (for Aidan's birthday), but due to work and general chaos had to keep postponing it.  We finally managed to get away this weekend.  The little town of Montagu is about 2 hours' drive inland from where we live, and the whole town is built around the wine, fruit and hot mineral springs found there.

Your arrival in Montagu is marked by a man-made hole through the Cogmanskloof Mountain!

It was sheer bliss to bathe in hot (43 degree) pools and jacuzzis, while the girls disappeared to the water slide - only to re-appear when they closed it for a short break.

The view from my lounger!!

The coolest of the 3 interleading pools - still as hot as bath water, though!!

Even the waterfall was hot - Aidan loved it!

Andrew and I found some time to "lounge around"!

 And to crown the fun - we found giant lollipops in town!! (this ones for you and your kids, Linda!!)

We had a lovely break and have earmarked it as a definate place to return to as soon as we can - holidays are always just a few days too short, aren't they?
