Cape Agulhas to Durban

SF

Cape Agulhas is the Southernmost Tip of Africa, not the Cape of Good Hope, as some of us might think.  Maybe that is because Cape Agulhas is more difficult to pronounce. Actually, the cape is the dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

There was a small version of the continent of Africa showing Mt. Kilimanjaro.

We only had about a week to make our way across South Africa to Durban then north to Johannesburg.  On our long drives we saw many landscapes and seascapes.  A local fisherman gets ready to brave the waves.

It was very windy.

Much of the time we drove through widespread vistas with very few vehicles.

Finding the ocean again at Mossel Bay, its sail sculpture invited us to visit.

That night we stayed at an AIRBNB near Knysna so Steve could have a close encounter with an elephant.  Our house had a lovely pool, but the weather was too chilly for us to fully enjoy it.  We made a fire instead.

Jeffrey's Bay was a must stop to acquire a surfing T-shirt.  The surfers were having a fine day.

We had lunch in Makhanda, formerly Grahmstown.  The Observatory Museum was closed for renovation, but it looked like it would have been interesting to visit.

Makhanda has numerous churches.

Back on the road we glimpsed areas in which land must have been given back to the people.

Reaching another beautiful AIRBNB apartment in Margate/Ramsgate, we beheld a beauty of a sunset, including birds perched in the nearby trees.

In the morning we followed a Ramsgate Marine Ramble path before leaving.

KwaZulu-Natal, the beach at Mpenjati Nature Reserve, has been used by naturists for many years.  Jim also tried his had at surf fishing.  Some day he will catch something on our trips.
