• Riversdale to L'Agulhas (most south)

    September 13, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    We woke up this morning freezing cold, no lights or heating because of Load Shedding!
    Drove to swellendam, lovely town with a lot of history and the prettiest church in South Africa. Tried to go shopping but all shops were still in darkness at 10am with electricity cuts.
    Got to destination, most southerly point of Africa where the oceans meet and we of course had to drink in most southerly pub.
    B&B we are in is again very different, this is a B&B! Strange for us but the view is great.
    No whales again. Took a walk out in the dark ar 7pm, nothing to see so will be early night.
    One positive from load shedding (power cuts) is that the stars are brilliant, never seen so many.
    Off to Cape Town tomorrow.
