Late afternoon we visit the CANGO CAVES.

Ruby stands beside a stalagmite.

In Cango 1, the Grand Hall is 107m long and 16m high. Mike stands in the middle.

There are many impressive stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone formations.

We did not expect the well preserved and comprehensive selection of formations.

The cave itself is believed to be over 150,000 years old.

This is were the standard tour ends...

... and the adventure tour begins.

This portion of the cave we enter has been damaged & therefore we were able to touch & hold on to the formations.

Mike descends from a ladder.

The adventure tour is not for everyone & ...

... before signing up they show the size of spaces that we have to pass through.

Oudshoorn is Ostrich country. We had Ostrich steak & sausage. How about some eggs for breakfast.

Feb. 29, 2008. Remaining on Route 62 we stop in at the famous Ronnies Sex Shop.

Heading south at Swellendam on the R319 we arrive at the Tip of Africa, CAPE AGULHAS.

Exactly (6) months ago we left Canada. Officially we are both in distance and time half-way.

Us at AFRICA’S SOUTHERN MOST POINT, where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Here by total coincidence we meet up again with Doris & Andre, originally met in Mozambique and we share a huge watermelon.

From here it is back up the west coast of Africa.

A ship wreck only a couple of hundred meter away.

The Agulhas lighthouse is one of the oldest working light houses in Southern Africa ...

... and located at the southernmost point of Africa.

Mar. 02, 2008. Our first view of TABLE MOUNTAIN in Cape Town.

The top station of the gondola.

The 12 Apostles.

The hike starts above Camps Bay via the Woody Revine.

The view from the top of Table Mountain/12 Apostles.

Friends of Rene’s take us up this non touristy path.

An old steam boiler.
