Journey to southernmost Africa

Over huge mountain peaks to cross to the coast

Crossing the coastline in rain at Knysna to divert to Plettenberg Bay

Each day on this incredible journey has been breathtaking. At first it didn't seem like our little aeroplanes could possibly climb up above cloud level to 7000 ft and then just scrape over the mountain tops. Possible landing places disappeared and then there were only rocky outcrops and peaks beyond rescue if we needed up. But up and on we chugged and have been discovering amazing little towns in the middle of nowhere.. Joubertina, high in the rockies, just before we plunged back down again through the clouds into mist and rain and had to make an emergency diversion to Plettenberg Bay.

The journey so far has taken us to Port St Johns, Wings Park (near East London where wee had a mishap with the front wheel spat), then Hitgeheim near PE for our first night stop, then over the rockies to Plettenberg Bay for night two. A drive by car to Knysna for night 3 as we waited the rain out. Then on to Mossel Bay for fuel and breakfast and trhough to Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa for night 4. Incredible viewsalong the coastline. Has a good laugh as most of the tourists stood at the sign that said "Southernmost tip of Africa", then I walked some more south clambering over the rocks and actually put my hand into the Indian/Atlantic Ocean a good 20m further south than them ha ha. The next morning in clear weather we set off for Stellenbosch and Table Mountain.. watch this space.
