But Yunluo didn't expect the seabird to take away the French fries at such an amazing speed, and it only took a small bite, so it definitely wouldn't hurt his fingers. The more he fed it, the happier it was. Even after it had eaten up all the French fries that Nalan Shiqi hadn't finished at noon, Yunluo still felt like it hadn't had enough fun.

After the excitement, we walked along the path on the side of the viewing platform to the bottom of the rock, and listened to the collision of the Atlantic Ocean and the rock reef from a closer distance. Although the rock was a bit steep and Yunluo was wearing a pair of slippers, it did not affect his interest and courage at all, and Nalan Shiqi climbed neatly.

Soon Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo reached the bottom layer. The reefs under their feet showed signs of being washed by the sea, but Yunluo tried to move forward a little bit, turned around and asked Nalan Shiqi to take a photo of Yunluo, but before he could pose, a big wave hit Yunluo's back.

The entire back half of the body was soaked. Unfortunately, Nalan Shiqi didn't take a photo. She turned around and faced the sea. She had to take a photo. At worst, the front would get wet. But Yunluo turned his head back, so his face couldn't get wet! Look! Does it feel like embracing the Atlantic Ocean?

After coming up, I asked Nalan Shiqi: "With such a big wave coming, are you worried that Yunluo will be swept away?" He answered calmly: "No! He can't be swept away."

This. Yunluo's understanding is: he didn't mean that Yunluo is heavy, but because this area is a bay, and there are rocks that increase the resistance of the waves, but this is also related to the weather and wind. Safety is still the first priority when going out for fun. There are no isolation guardrails here. In bad weather or strong winds, it is better not to go too deep.

Climb up to the observation deck, get in the car, and continue forward a little bit to the fort, which is a few minutes' walk away. There is a swimming area, and you can walk to the sea through a ladder. Nalan Shiqi wanted to test the water temperature, and walked down the steps without listening to Yunluo's dissuasion. Just then, a wave hit the steps, and his feet were also washed by the Atlantic Ocean. What was more tragic than Yunluo was that he was wearing sneakers.

Back in the car, Xiao Zhou said he would take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to another beach, where they could see the side of Hermanus. After about 10 minutes, they arrived at a public beach area. The sand in this area was white and fine, and it was very comfortable to walk on. Nalan Shiqi took off her shoes and basked in the sun there.

The seawater on Yunluo's body had not dried yet, but it once again wet the area below the calves. It was rare to see such a beautiful beach with few people, and Yunluo was so excited that he really wanted to run to the Atlantic Ocean to play for a while.

The area around Hermanus is full of reefs, but I didn't expect there is such a delicate place nearby. The sunlight shines through the clouds, and the small town in the distance seems like a dream, so beautiful like a fairyland.

This public beach has toilets, showers, and a wash area outside, which is unattended. The beach is very clean and there is no garbage to be seen. Later, along the Garden Avenue, I didn't see a piece of paper in any public place.

After seeing enough and playing, it's time to get back to the car and drive back to Hermanus. Many shops in the town are closed, and it's impossible to go to the craft shops. Most of the people living here are European immigrants, and their lives are very comfortable. Work is not their main or only way to survive. The shops open at 10 am.

The shop closes at 4pm, and even if it is a family hotel, there will be no guard at the door 24 hours a day. They will hand over the keys to the guests with confidence, and there is no such thing as "room inspection".

After playing for an afternoon, Xiao Zhou was already starving. Based on his unique experience, he found a small Italian restaurant. His intuition told him that this should be a good place.

Sure enough, the boss and his wife's warm reception and exaggerated body language were like the sea breeze blowing from the Apennine Peninsula, making people happy and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Nalan Shiqi chose a seat outside. Yunluo took her camera and went into the inner room to take pictures. She stayed for a while at the place where the pizza was taken out of the oven. The boss asked Yunluo if she needed anything. Yunluo said she wanted to take a picture of the pizza coming out of the oven.

The lovely Italian immediately told the waiter to stop for a moment when the next pizza came out so Yunluo could take a picture. Haha! The black guy also cooperated very well, posed in a very professional way, and smiled back.

The three of them ordered a large pizza + double cheese. Yunluo forgot the variety. Xiaozhou doesn't eat meat. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi shared a t-bone (the foreigner's portion was definitely enough for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, father and daughter, to share). How could they not have dessert when they went to an Italian restaurant?

The lady boss recommended "chocolate kisses". The ribs were cooked to perfection and the sauce was rich; the pizza tasted great, with the ham and mushrooms spread out generously on the crust, the crust was thin and crispy, and with the rich cheese, Yunluo even forgot to leave some space for dessert.

When Yunluo saw the three chocolate bars and the thick ice cream underneath, he begged the two men to try it, but they flatly refused. So Yunluo had to digest it slowly by himself. The so-called "chocolate kisse" is a layer of chocolate wrapped around the chocolate ice cream.

The taste was not too sweet at all. The ice cream underneath was vanilla flavored, which went well with the chocolate. It took Yunluo a little time to finish the dessert.

When we got back to the guest house, it was already dark. It would be great if the craft market here could open a night market! I had a stomach full of food that needed to be digested. Fortunately, there was a lot to see in the accommodation. There were many exquisite toys in the room alone. But I was afraid of breaking them, so I just admired them from close up and didn't even dare to move my fingers.

After finally waiting for the food to be almost digested and taking a shower to have a good sleep, I discovered a big problem: why are there so many pillows on the bed? I counted them and found that there are 6 pairs in total, big and small. No wonder it took a long time to clean the room. It took a lot of energy just to arrange it.

These colorful pillows are particularly heavy. It took a little effort to move them to the side of the bed. It is obviously a king-size bed, but I can only enjoy the area of ​​a twin-size bed. Foreigners are just pretentious.

When arriving in Franschhoek, Nalan Shiqi complained that they hadn't visited any attractions except a winery that day, and asked Yunluo if he would go to any attractions the next day. Yunluo said, "Not only places that charge admission are called attractions. When we walked along the 'Garden Route', there were attractions that didn't charge admission all the way."

He couldn't understand this sentence, but after yesterday afternoon, he never asked questions about "attractions" again. Some "magic" can only be understood by experiencing it in person.

I got up early, packed my luggage, and went out for a walk with Nalan Shiqi before 8 o'clock. The guest house faces the sea, and across the two-lane road, there is a cliff.

Just like yesterday. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo climbed down all the way. The first half was fine, very flat, with a water-filled concave in the middle, which looked like an infinity pool built on the edge of a cliff. The further down, the steeper it got. Nalan Shiqi climbed even more skillfully than Yunluo, "Parents' good health is a blessing for their children."

This is absolutely true. Even my friends don't have the energy to climb rocks so early in the morning. The father and daughter turned "walking" into "rock climbing".

Back on the cliff, there was a vast expanse of green. If it were spring, there would be flowers everywhere, and the scenery would be even more charming. So, if there was a chance to return to this place, Yunluo thought, that would be it. Cross the path, walk back to the road, and walk slowly. Feel the comfort of the combination of blue sky, white clouds, mountains, and sea.

The villas here are of different styles and sizes, neatly arranged on both sides of the road, facing the sea and backed by mountains, but the selling price is only about 300w-500w. Just think about the house price, using up all the savings of a lifetime plus half a lifetime of debt, you can only get a small room in the waste gas pile, and the ownership period is only 70 years.

The feeling of "hermanus guest house" is different from that of ordinary family hotels. Yesterday, a middle-aged white woman received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. I thought she was the proprietress, but today, another white woman received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Maybe this place is jointly opened by several people.

It is also possible that the boss here hired white people to serve the guests directly, and the black people were only responsible for preparing rooms or working in the kitchen. When I checked in yesterday, the waiter asked Yunluo to fill out a breakfast form, where he could choose the staple food and write down the meal time. It was exactly 9 o'clock when I returned to the guest house.

The waiter brought the pre-meal fruit salad and croissants according to what Yunluo had chosen yesterday, and the tableware was still very exquisite. While waiting for the main course, you can go to the self-service bar to try other foods, such as sliced ​​bread, cheese, bacon, yogurt, cereals, and juice. There are at least 2 varieties of each food to choose from.

When Yunluo's omelet was served in front of her, she was reluctant to eat it. It was the first time she saw such a thick egg roll. To be precise, it was a big egg dumpling with the filling wrapped in the middle instead of being beaten in the egg liquid. The most unique thing was the "artificial tree" on it. While Yunluo was admiring the omelet.

Nalan Shiqi's main course was also served. The scrambled eggs were placed in a heart-shaped bowl, and there were a lot of fried mushrooms. But Yunluo felt that the mushrooms might have been baked, otherwise, why was there not a drop of oil on the plate?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Today was the day with the longest driving time of the entire trip. We originally planned to leave at 9:30, but because of the hearty breakfast, we set off 15 minutes late. We had to give up the seafood market and drive directly to Cape Agulhas ("b" in the route map).

Many friends are worried that if they come to South Africa to drive, they will not be used to driving on the left. In fact, it does not have much impact when driving on the road. Just go forward in one lane if you want to overtake.

Usually it is possible under two conditions: 1. Most roads in the southern region are two-lane roads. If there are emergency parking lanes on both sides of the road, you can slightly shorten the distance to the vehicle in front. If the vehicle in front is willing, they will drive on the inside to give you way. After overtaking, you can turn on double flashes to show your gratitude; 2. On designated sections of the road.

The traffic line in the middle will indicate that overtaking in the opposite lane is allowed. Drivers in the south are very rule-abiding and will not use the opposite lane on non-permitted sections of the road even if there is no car in the opposite direction.

Although it is not like Kenya, where you can see horses and cows everywhere, the scenery here is also extraordinary. There are blue sky and white clouds above and mountains and grasslands below. It is a relief to see and feel. Driving in the southern region is definitely a pleasure. Passing by a small town.

It happened that there was a parade and rally in the local area, which should be related to labor remuneration. When the rights of workers are violated, the union will speak up for the workers and negotiate with the employer or even the government. Yun Luo never understood what the unions in China do. When he was in a state-owned enterprise, the union was responsible for distributing subsidies during festivals.

When visiting retired employees, it seems that private enterprises rarely have a "trade union" department; who is protecting the interests of Chinese employees? As Yunluo, who was "born in the 1970s, grew up in the 1980s, studied in the 1990s, and worked hard in the 2000s", he was completely confused in the "10s" and did not understand more than just the word "trade union".

Thoughts back. In history, Cape Agulhas was a famous dangerous sea area, 170 kilometers away from Cape Town, and it takes 2 hours to drive from Hermanus to here. 1500.

When Portuguese ships sailed here, the sailors found that the compass pointed exactly to the north, so they called the cape formed by this group of rocks "cabo das agulhas". "Agulhas" means "compass needle".

The English meaning is "capeneedles". The name "Needle Cape" comes from the fact that the direction of the magnetic north pole and the geographical north pole in this area is exactly the same, so this place is determined to be the southernmost point of the African continent.

After passing a gravel road, Xiao Zhou saw a long plank road. He risked damaging the tires and continued to drive the car to the innermost part. There was a stone bronze plaque with "You are now at the southernmost tip of the African continent" written in "Portuguese and English".

There is a line of white characters on a blue background along the front steps, with "Indian Ocean" on the left and "Atlantic Ocean" on the right. Although the intersection of the two oceans is actually an artificial geographical concept, there is no obvious boundary between the two oceans here. The distinction between the two oceans is based on water temperature.

The water temperature of the Indian Ocean is about 6°C higher than that of the Atlantic Ocean. As ocean currents change, the true dividing line keeps moving between Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas. Only by measuring the water temperature can the exact position of the day be found.

However, the International Hydrographic Organization defines Cape Agulhas as the point where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean separate, and the local meridian (20° east longitude) is the official boundary between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

Cape Agulhas may be the only attraction in this quiet town. No tour groups visit it, but it attracts many Westerners to come here to listen to the dialogue between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. (To be continued...)
