Hitting the bottom


Heading to Cape Town and spending time in the wine region. In particulate at the town of Swellendam. At the end of the 18th century this was the edge of the known world. It feels like a frontier hemmed in by mountains baring the way,

Headed south to the tip of Africa at Cape Agullus. Climbed the lighthouse for a dramatic view down the coast. It's where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet causing much turbulence.

Much turbulence caused in my journey when I became the latest victim of South Africa's crime wave when my car was broken into and all my stuff taken. Well they left the Lonely Planet. So a slight change of plan in the afternoon involving statements to thee Police. Everyone was so apologetic. Apparently it's the first time it has happened there. No lasting damage just very annoying.
