The Southern most tip of Africa

Recently, we visited the most southerly place on the African continent. It is called Cape Argulhas and marks the point where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean.



The lighthouse rises out of fishermen cottages, which are now a visitor centre and shop.





At the top is this warning notice - spot the deliberate spelling mistake (hint-which word needs a prefix?).

It was very windy, but it didn't stop us beachcombing. Our friend Hannes offered to help...

I washed my 'treasures', including some wonderful sponges and pieces of seaweed, placing them round the bath to dry, but the fishy smell lingered for days!


Here's something I didn't bring home - a dead baby shark.

A rare picture of Andy sporting the latest in holiday gear...

He must have been feeling paticularly jovial that day...

In Cape Argulhas motorists swerve to avoid tortoises...


We also visited this cave, but as you can see the tide had already turned.
