Cape Agulhas, RSA to Cape Town, RSA (225km or 140mi)
After our great time at the southernmost tip of the continent, we spent a few minutes fiddling with the GPS (and with the analog maps) attempting to figure out if there was a connecting coastal route we could drive the whole way back to Cape Town. Nothing seemed to work; the roads on the map didn’t appear to connect and they also weren’t named – just dashed lines. So we decided not to chance it. We gave Claire a call and her ma offered us a home-cooked meal for dinner! That clinched it and our new goal was to find the quickest route home. We took R316 through Napier (which was super cute) back up to the N2 and straight back to Cape Town. The drive home took us less than 2 hours. We had homemade lasagna with Claire, Richard and Carol. It was delicious! Thanks Carol!! Somewhere along the route we had passed Ali going in the opposite direction, as he had driven to PE with friends for tomorrow’s game. And other than the serious nature of Josh’s increasing soccer withdrawal, we were starting to recuperate from our colds.
The sunset almost caused many almost crashes:
Ben got tuckered out. He was such a cuddlebug!
