Paradise found

Today's hike took us up Baskloof Private Nature Reserve at Scarborough, high above the sea on top of the mountains to the west of Red Hill. If there is any place on Earth I would like a tiny cottage with no mod cons, where I could sit on the stoep and enjoy the fresh salty air coming up from the South Atlantic, a deep blue sky dotted with puffs of cloud and a carpet of soft glittery sand woven with myriad blooms in blue, pink and yellow, then this is it. Regrettably, someone already owns it, but we are privileged to be allowed access for a minimal fee, after an incredibly steep climb straight up from Scarborough! Tough going for the first hour. Totally worth it.
Enjoy the pics. It is a paradise.
