We followed the road which in turn was following the river, and we came to a gorge, or "Kloof" as it's known in these parts, where over time the stream had worn its way through the rock. There were some very interesting shapes in the rock where although now very much as hard as rock, it almost still looked like a sort of liquid mud that is being pushed, squashed and contorted as the mountains slowly move and unfold. A slow motion liquid wave. Of course all that happened way back when and it seems to be frozen in time.
We spent about 2 minutes looking at the rocks then realised we had a way to go yet and time was not waiting for us. We were also getting hungry and needed food, so kept moving on to Steytlerville.
