On one of those roads that does not lead to where we want to go...
Seal, whale and penguines...some of the animals for this region.
Penguines this direction...but after some walking, all of a sudden there's a tiny house with a dude inside saying we have to pay to see them. Money far away in the car..we decided to turn around and look for lunch instead.

Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean is one of the most wonderful things in the world!
This is our hotel in Hermanus - The Misty Collection. Our room is under the dark roof in the middle of the picture.
All-in-one. Lounge area, bedroom and bathroom in the same room. Sounds strange maybe, but it was without a doubt one of the most charming rooms I've ever slept in!
In the evening we went to Brian's Circus in Hermanus. Childhood flashbacks! :-)

This is the bathroom. No secrets. Behind the wall, that the mirror is leaning on, is the toilet...

Took the mountain road home. Speeding trucks and serpentine roads...I prefer the beach road.
