Our drive to Struisbaai
– about 5km from Cape Agulhas – took us over three passes –
Franschoek, Viljoen and Houhoek – and then along the Atlantic coast
from Hermanus to Gaansbaai. Some amazing scenery and contrasts –
particularly the enormous fruit plantations between Villiersdorp and
Elgin. Trees loaded with apples, pears, plums, olives and others
which we couldn't identify.
We are on the Indian
Ocean here and the water is a wonderful turquoise colour – although
still a little on the cool side.
Had a bit of problem
arranging our accommodation here – we are in two different places
for our planned 4 nights – but on arrival we discovered that we are
competing with a marlin fishing festival and a Freedom Road Rally by
the Christian Motorcycle Association from Cape Town. Crowds of large
men on even larger bikes but no sign of a Death's Head badge anywhere!
Looking forward to Friday night in the local hostelry – the Michael
Collins Inn – wonder how my orange shirt will go down?
very Nice Linda... Looking like a real tourists
