Agulhas AKA most Southernly point in Africa - or to put it another way sod all to do apart from looking at a sign where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Liz wanted to go there and it seemed symbolic since we had spent 2 months getting there from the Equator. The other point being that the water temperature now goes from a toe numbing 10 - 15 degrees C to mid 20 degree C.

We got a place with a balcony overlooking the mountain and were in a god spot to see the mountain and the more interest...

We were now heading to Stellenbosch in South Africa spitting distance from Cape Town and the end. Today was a mere 5 to 6 hours in the truck getting up at a more sensible time and having breakfast had a good effect - people where actually awake. Springbok was the lunch stop - reputed to have the ugliest people on the entire journey.
