The Whale Route, Hermanus, and L'Agulhas

Our plan for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was to drive the Whale Route to Hermanus, then to the actual southernmost bit of Africa, Cape L'Agulhas, and then as much of the Garden Route as we could, consistent with turning the rental car back in Monday in time for our Emirates flight to Dubai.
Our sporty rental car; actually a bit crowded with all our gear from Africa
and for Europe

Interesting Capetown billboard

Our first hasty tasty in weeks...

Gorgeous coastline, rivaling much else we have seen

Mile after mile of this

New sign for our collection

Avast! Thar she blows! Click to enlarge and see actual whale
part

This was about all we saw, however

It was the annual Whale Festival in Hermanus, lots of partying, not so much
parking; so we drove on

To L'Agulhas, where the Atlantic and Indian and Antarctic waters all mingle
And there it is




Southernmost lighthouse

We found a nice enough B&B and then went out for dinner at the harbor...
where the locals eat, they said
