Another fabulous isolated road

I was just talking about another of my favourite roads, the one between Freycinet and the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, and now here is one here in South Africa:
the road from Houthoop (a farm just north of Kleinzee) to Kamaggas.


The road is partially paved, but even when not paved generally good.

You drive towards the mountains for a few kilometres.

I have to admit that that morning was just glorious, the temperature was ideal, the air smelled nice, the light was brilliant. I was one of those morning where you know you are in glorious Africa, the Africa they write books and make movies about.

Once again: red dirt and blue sky.

The day had started with a beautiful but weird sunrise at Houthoop. (That was between Christmas 2010 and New Year 2011)
