Home from home

After a day recovering from our walk, we headed south towards Cape Agulhas with a short stop in Hermanus for lunch - Jimmy C would have loved this - lunch was £15 and the wine was £1.30 per glass. Impressed how the restaurants cope with the load shedding - rolling power cuts - which are such a regular occurrence.

We arrived in Struisbaai in the early afternoon to the same house we rented in 2013 - just like coming home. Less than 50 m from the beach which  - at 24 km -  claims to be the longest white sand beach in the Southern hemisphere. Not planning to walk it all but it's great to have a beach walk every morning and evening straight from the house - don't even need to bother with shoes.


Nothing has changed here since our last visit - the house still has that slightly uncared for look but it has all the amenities, beds for 10 people and more than enough space for the two of us.

And of course sunshine and temperatures in the mid 20's during the day, while cooling down in the evenings so there is no need for fans or A/C.
