Hermanus is a seaside town about two hours drive from Cape Town along the south coast, in Walker Bay. This bay's claim to fame is the world's top site for land-based whale-watching between June and November. We had been told that whales had been seen in the bay, earlier than expected, so we travelled there for the day, last Friday. The weather was perfect, so armed with our binoculars, we scanned the bay hoping to see some large black humps, v-shaped water spouts or whales' tails popping out of the water. Unfortunately, we didn't see any. A waiter, at one of the many sea front restaurants and cafes, told us he had seen a tail two days previously.
This whale-tail seat was given to the town in 2000. Walker Bay is in the background.
On this occasion Sandra and I gave in to Mum's request to have a sweet after our meal. For a little lady she sure can enjoy her 'puddings'! They both loved Hermanus despite not seeing any whales. There is small craft market and lots of little shops to browse, as well as the breathtaking scenery.
These strange-looking animals are called 'dassies'. They are the size of large cats, but look more like hamsters, and live in the rocks at Hermanus. We were told they can also be found on Table Mountain.
