The Fish River Canyon

You get to the gate after about 400 years on a gravel road, seeing nothing but flatness. Then they charge you R65 per person and send you off on another gravel road and you cant help but think that this better be something really spectacular. Then you finally arrive at the end of the road and these half derelict thatch awnings and you still only see flatness. But as you walk up to the railing, earth suddenly drops away and in front of you is this indescribable expanse of hole. The river calving a way through the ground for eons and still doing so. There are no words or photos that can describe the feeling of smallness you feel and how majestic I experienced the presence of God here. Its like the Pyramids or Iiguazzu Falls, its one of those things where the size of it all is really only understood when you are standing there and staring into the magnificent canyon! The second biggest in the world. (The longest in the world according to Tristan)
