Cape Agulhas, Southernmost Tip of Africa



Today, we went driving once again and enjoyed the beautiful mountains of the Overberg. Route 62 is just so beautiful and along the way, we passed by Montagu, a tiny, pretty town with hot springs. Here, we loaded up on dried fruits which we enjoyed in the car. Then, we had lunch in Swellendam in an old prison that was converted into a restaurant. The fish and chips were to die for. The fish has an almost tempura type coating.

But the big find of the day was Cape Agulhas. We saw the sign: Southernmost Tip of Africa and just headed for it. When we arrived there we also saw the sign on one side is the Indian Ocean and on the other, the Atlantic Ocean. The Great Divide of the two oceans that we really wanted to see.
