In South Africa there are many places you can describe as one of the most beautiful places you have ever seen. But for me the view from Didima towards Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg is probably the winner or very close to it.

This was what I planned for my sixtieth birthday. Enjoying one of my favourite views with a glass of wine while time has stopped and I can be sixty forever with the love of my life on my side.
