What a restful night we had. Oom Piet you are a star. Chantal thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. Thank you Michelle for spending a bit of time with us and enjoying a glass of wine with us.
As we left Gansbaai I came across this shop that has bamboo sticks in front of the shop and they are painted like a little house. Very quaint indeed. The inside of the shop looked like second hand goodies, crafty goodies and lots of interesting Brik a Brak. (licquorice all sorts).
We headed to Danger point, but sadly the were closed to the public. I did manage to get a few nice shots.
Michelle suggested we drive to De Kelders to watch for some whales. How awesome. Saw a family of 2 with a little calf and another 2 adults just bobbing around. I managed to photograph my full breach. Feeling rather chuffed.
Onto Stoney Penguins. The weather at this point was truly disgusting. Extreme gale force winds that almost blew us off our feet. Thick mist and yuchy misty rain. Not nice at all. I did manage to get a cute image of a baby blue penguin.
I had heard that nature had taken control of a certain road in Betty’s Bay called Watsonia Road. So we took a drive …. Oh my word. I could see this off Google maps using the Satellite footage, ut never imagined what I actually saw. It was just incredible.
We headed to our accommodation for the night – Hangklip Hotel. Liza said she had put us up in the Lighthouse Cottage. When we got here we were blown away by the decor. Pink, pink, pink and more pink. It was a feast for the eyes. So tastefully done, but so over the top. More photos to follow. A beautiful setting right under Hangklip rock. Lots of history here, but the weather has kept us indoors.
Hope weather will lift tomorrow so that we can head for Kommetjie. Time to hit the pillow. We are finished.
