Weekend Road Trip
There’s absolutely so many things you can do here in the Cape Town region. I’m so glad I booked eight weeks so I have time to do all I want. Frankly speaking, I could stay here double the time still having more exploring to do. Saturday morning, me and some other volunteers in the house went into Cape Town to rent a minibus for the weekend. We were determined to reach Cape of Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa for sunset. We took the drive along the coast line which was more than stunning. My favorite part was Gordons Bay, I definitely want to come back to for a longer stay. The plan was to visit some caves along the trip but the tide made it impossible to see them. Arriving to Cape Agulhas in time for sunset, I fancied a swim at the point the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean since it was too cloudy watching just the sunset. It’s cool I can say I’ve been swimming there and it was surprisingly warm. Next day on the way home we went to De Hoop Nature Reserve. It had these massive sand dunes as a beautiful beach. Personally it’s one of the most significant places I’ve been to. I collected some shells to keep as a memory. Sunday evening we were back in Cape Town and we did finally get the perfect sunset. Great end of the road trip.
