Drakensfruit or Pitaya

Almost a year ago I started trying out exotic fruits. After a few I couldn't find any new at my supermarket.
Last week I found a new one: Drakensfruit or sometimes called Pitaya.

When I bought it, I didn't know what to expect. This weird cactus-like fruit with red, green and a bit of yellow.

When I got home I cut it open and I was surpriced by the bright pink colour. I do not think I have ever seen the colour with any fruit.

I really wondered what it would taste like.
Well here I wil try to explain what I tasted.
The first piece I tried was a little watery. but the middle of the fruit wat quite sweet. The little seeds in it made me think of a kiwi, but this fruit is sweet and nothing even close to the taste of a kiwi (just the texture and mouth sensation is simelar).

You should try one some time. I liked it

Drakensbergen - Lesotho

In one of my last weekends I made a trip to Drakensbergen and Lesotho.
Lesotho is an enclaved landlocked country completly surrounded by South Africa.

Hluhluwe Safari - South-Africa

My third weekend trip was a Safari in the park HluHluwe (pronounce: SluSluwe).

Here some pictures:

Oribi Gorge - South-Africa

My second weekend trip was to Oribi Gorge (South-Africa).

I'll just show you the pictures.

Wild Coast - South-Africa

Last month I came back from 8 weeks South-Africa.
I did soms volentairs work and in the weekends I made some touristic tours. One was to the Wild Coast.

If you see the pictures, I'm sure I do not have to explain why it's cold the Wild Coast.

This last picture is of a mangrove forest at the Wild Coast

National Anthem: Tibet

One last national anthem. Tibet isn't an independent country but I really like their anthem and I love the sound of it!

So no info this time, but just listen and enjoy.
