Tues Feb 15th - Cape Point

Today it was the turn of Cape Point and the cape of Good Hope and it was my turn to drive. The steering wheel is on the wrong side, they drive on the wrong side of the road and apparently Korean cars in South Africa have the indicator levers on the wrong side too. So Bridget and I can confirm that the wipers work perfectly well, even when there's no rain in sight! Has caused quick a few giggle attacks.

We'd stopped off at my friend Christopher's house on the way to Cape Point to pick up a cool bag for the day as we'd planned a picnic lunch. We didn't have a map of the outskirts of Cape Town and well, he, um, didn't seem to have had to give directions there very often (giving him the benfit of the doubt), so if you're ever in need of a guided tour of Claremont in Cape Town, give us a call, we know the place very well now.

There's not a lot to say about Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. Stunning landscape, wonderful views and a lovely picnic on the boulders overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

It's a long way home!
