We chose to have a relaxing trip and pop into all the smaller coastal towns along the coastline, instead of heading straight out on the N2.
It was a beautiful day when we left and we immediately felt relaxed, our first overnight stop would be Gansbaai.

Sea view on our way out. The sea has a magic all its own never the same and the colors can be so beautiful.

On one of the roads, on an open lot someone had made this plant holder out of shells, I thought it was pretty neat idea. All the plants were succulents so little or no watering needed. They had also on a tree an array of bird feeders and bottles of sugar water for the sunbirds.
