For those up here in Gauteng, the Free State and Mpumalanga - did you see the cosmos flowers this year? Whow! They are stunning, and out in full bloom. This prompted the ride of this morning.

We went in search of some cosmos flowers, and stumbled on fantastic roads and scenery.  We had no route planned, left the maps and GPS at home and left in the direction of Bronkhorstspruit and Delmas via some dirt roads. Not far out on we saw the first cosmos flowers, they lined the roads as if we were important.

The country side was beautiful.  The farmers are getting ready for the harvest and winter.


At Delmas we stopped at the Wimpy for some coffee, and from there we headed towards Nigel, Devon, Balfour and ended in Heidelberg for a coke before heading home.

Before Balfour we saw this old house. Would be a nice restoration project - the spot is just purrrrrrfect!

It was a great day, made more special with Marina joining me. It was a blast to be out on the open roads, just the two of us.  This was a nice warm-up for our end of month tour to the Northern Cape.
