These crazy kids walked the Kloof Trail (7.5km) barefoot - why? Because they loved the feel of the ground under their feet.
Racing the sunset and an impending storm... have never had no complaints from kids on a walk before....

Stunning morning walking tour of #maboneng precinct with @joburg360. So impressed with the rejuvenation that’s going on despite the economic ravages brought on by lockdown.

Sarah is extremely knowledgable and you can see how much she loves the inner city. Extremely impressed with how clean the streets are and how safe it feels. Lots of eating spots to add to our list and the rooftop bar at the Hallmark hotel on Siemert road will make a fantastic sundowner spot!
