Day 450 South Africa 27/01/2012, Hermanus Backpackers, Hermanus. Sightseeing.

This morning we went for a walk along the rather beautiful cliff top walk; heading first west towards the new harbour and then back east towards the old harbour and town centre. The coastline is very dramatic and had it been whale watching season, I am sure the view would have been even more spectacular. Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable, if somewhat warm, stroll.

Arriving in the town we had a look round the shops and then stopped for a coffee and light lunch. Hermanus has a very nice feel about it, with lots of nice cafés and restaurant/bars along its seafront. Combined with the very good backpackers, it has been an enjoyable stopping off point for us.

Back at the hostel it was straight into the pool to cool off and then a bit of bike maintenance, while Debs got her CV sorted out. The real world is now starting to firmly intrude upon our journey! With only 13 full days left until we fly home, our thoughts are more often on jobs and where we are going to live. For the meantime though we are trying to concentrate on getting to Cape Town. If all goes to plan, we are only 6 days away.

We have another shortish hop tomorrow to Betty's Bay, so we should arrive in good time. Fingers crossed the helpful tailwind stays with us!
