Back on the coast we are still on the Atlantic til we get a little further east to the Indian Ocean. We choose not to drive the rough road to the point which is the most southern point of Africa.
The fishing fleets come into these bays and sheltered harbors so we can walk to the end of the road for fish that was swimming earlier in the day, cooked up in wee shacks open to the weather. It is cool with wind and rain and I am glad I’ve brought my merino hoodie. Even tho I’m told later hoodies are suspect!! Seals hang out there hoping for scraps, and are successful as fishermen cull their catch once on land.
This is the land of the big whales in season, not now. Whale watching and trips out to see them and dolphins are a mainstay of the region for 6 months of the year.
Our BnB in Hermanus us run by Renee whose son is working in Edmonton for 2 years on a project. Making lots of money with his partner to hopefully return and have a house down payment. Small world. It’s a beautiful little place where we have our own wee patio and front door, common here. A lovely pool in a lovely garden but we never quite get time to enjoy them.
