I thought today would be special but it surpassed my expectations.
Last night we got to Mossel Bay too late so no chance to see the Indian Ocean.
As we had a room with a view, this morning first thing was to look out and check out the ocean. It never fails to impress.
Breakfast was very nice and we also had a great view.
We then rode to The Point in Mossel Bay which is very nice. The coastline is rocky and a number of families played on the beach.
Some people have asked me if we have passed any uncomfortable situation related to race and the answer is no. At no time we have felt threatened or out of place. On the contrary we have always felt welcomed which has surpassed my expectations.
We then made our way west towards Cape Agulhas on the N2. The road is in great condition and we witness some amazing sights. We could not help but stare in wonderment at the beautiful cultivated fields and had to pinch ourselves as it is so different from other countries in Africa. I can safely say that South Africa 🇿🇦 is unique in the world. It is the only country in Africa that is highly developed and in certain parts could be compared to the best in the western world, yet in some parts it is as African as its geography warrants it.
We had to turn off the N2, towards the south to reach the Cape. The road was very quiet and also very beautiful.
As we neared the Cape, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped. We surely were glad the sun was shining.
We went through a number of small towns, ending on the most picturesque which is Agulhas.
We first entered a nature park and then made our way to the southern-most point on the African continent.
I was even able to sneak my bike through the stones and sticks and got her to the exact spot of the marker.
As time raced on, we stopped for lunch.
The sun was starting to go down and we still had 2.5 hours to go to Cape Town which we did in one swoop.
Arrived at night and got lots of wind crossing Lowry's Pass.
Had a great reception at family's house and had a feast for dinner.
This was another great day that I will never forget.
