Cape of Good Hope, Kalk's Bay, Cuba to Cape

Remember your World History Lesson? I could very well remember memorizing this for the test and here I am standing right here looking at the ocean watching for those Spanish Galleons circumnavigating the world.

We then had lunch at Kalk's Bay. The waterfront all the way from Capetown was full as it was the weekend so it was hard to find parking but we were determined to have a taste of the fish and seafood fresh from the area so patiently we went on our hunt for parking and found one as someone was just leaving. And lo and behold, just below where we parked is the famous new year party restaurant called Cuba to Cape.

The interior is like that of a Paladar, those old houses transformed into restaurants with the servers wearing the Cubana outfits and Che Guevara T-shirt and hat.

The menu is like an old newspaper in Cuba.

The food is superb. I had Paella and Tom had Boulliabaise and we truly enjoyed these.

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.
