Magaliesberg Walking: Boulders Kloof

Early morning wake up, a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and on the deck with Phil at Utopia watching the sun rising behind the mist and clouds over the Magaliesberg.

It was a perfect morning for a walk, not cold not hot and in a quite beautiful place.

As we walked Phil showed us some of the local flora, like the rather bizarre Orbea flower and the wonderful form of the Aloe Peglari.

The walking was challenging, rocky veld and I had to watch my footing all the time but what a pleasure to be out in nature with no one else in sight.
