Hermanus

So to close off our mini road trip that I have been posting about, the target of that roadtrip was Hermanus, a little town that we enjoy.

If you continue on, you will get to Cape Agulhas, the most Southern point of Africa, but we decided this time not to go as far.

In Hermanus we did a little shopping, had gelato for lunch, we listened to a live band while sitting down on a grass patch watching the ocean. Though they were playing at a restaurant the set up is such that you can hear them from the "beach front", which isn't really a beach front as we are use to but rather a walk way, way above the water.

You then also get stairs that can take you down to the actual bit of beach available there.
Most of it is stone.

At this tiny little beach is where we saw the people actually go into the water. Law enforcement was patrolling and did not say anything, so it makes one question lockdown restrictions and what classifies as "no beaches allowed or beaches are closed" either way people kept their distance from each other and there was no overcrowding.

This is also a nice place. It reminds me a little bit of Portugal with the fishingboats.

This reminded me of a song (playing with the meaning of all the rocks in this boat) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfBwsG8ubFw

So nice and quiet, so it seems to me! And your pictures are lovely! I agree with Madeleine and Ingrid, it reminded me of some places in Portugal...but then you said so yourself...Based on the litlle I've seen of it, I always remember South Africa in terms of somewhat large, monumental landscape...

@Teresa Seia This town can get really busy, especially during whale season, but we already know when we can go and enjoy it and when to stay... Show more

@Ingrid Tips en meer Back in December I posted photos of the route, but we did not enter the park that takes you back to the last tip of it which is known as Cape Point because we want to avoid crowded places.

But you can check out photos of Instagram. https://instagram.com/capepointsa?igshid=1y1xr1xdqgp8a

If people kept their distance from each other and there was no overcrowding, I think the patrol made the right decision. Great pictures again!

@Dewaputra Yes they did! Unfortunately at much bigger beaches in smaller towns they didn't allow anyone on it at all, so it was nice to see people use good judgement.
