After dropping Dwayne off at Cape Town Airport for his long trip home, Andrea and I headed further south. I really miss Dwayne already, it was so nice to have him join me in Africa - it made this part of the trip so special.
We drove to the beautiful seaside town of Hermanus, the best place in the world to view whales from land. Unfortunately, it was not their season, so we filled our time walking along the wonderful waterfront, and hiking in hills filled with wildflowers.
We also visited some cool climate wineries in the area, and made our way to the southernmost point in Africa - Cape Aguhlas. We stayed in a gueshouse high on a hill with a great view of where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet.
We are now (Dec 16) back in wine country, in the very beautiful town of Franschhoek, which could certainly give Napa a run for its money. Like the good budget travellers that we are, Andrea and I have discovered that one of the top 50 restaurants in the world is here, and guess what, they had a last minute cancellation. So..... we are treating ourselves, a bit expensive, but nothing like North American or European prices. We are doing the 7 course tasting with 7 matching wines - hey, you only live once!
