Hermanus

Yesterday we drove about 2 hours outside Cape Town to a small town called Hermanus, known for the fact that during the southern hemisphere winter (which is now), whales come close to the shore there. So, basically it's all about whale-watching in Hermanus. We took a walking path along the coastline - and we saw the whales!! Although, I have to admit, we saw just an occasional tail or fin... Just as I took out my camera to take a picture, they disappeared... So, you need lots of imagination when you look at my pictures of the whales.. :o) I'll upload them on Wednesday..
In the afternoon, it became so windy in Hermanus that the wind almost knocked me over, not to mention that my mouth and eyes were full of sand..
We were driving back in the dark - the roads here are very good (and very hilly and curvy!) but the drivers are crazy! Many of them don't switch off their high beam lights when they approach you!
And we are still discovering 'new' traffic signs which we haven't seen before.. :o)
