8+9.10.2014

Depart for L'Agulhas and Bontebok where we will spend the next two nights. Imperative stop at Hermanus, where Whales make a show ... a little show, in freezing cold and pouring rain.
The rain hardly leaves that day and will play tricks shortly before Algulhas. An especially smooth and muddy road made us change our plans. We will spend the next two nights at Bontebok ... which is a stone's throw (several hours !)... 0*\
thank you, Michele, for all these km of driving, and the slides control 0/0
Two Fish Eagles are still laughing =O:
At least, I have seen the lighthouse 0'

Bontebok is a very pretty little park.
The camp and cabins are friendly.
