Albeit\u00a0the Cape of Good Hope\u00a0is not the southern-most point of the African continent it really\u00a0has something special, mainly also because of the many sunken ships close by. The &#8220;Cape Point&#8221; with the lighthouse is on a steep cliff and the seabirds were soaring in the wind that constantly blowed from the South. It was awesome to see with which speed they approached the sheer cliff, how they\u00a0 slowed down the very last metres to finally safely land under the overhangs.\u00a0True artists of the air.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_5803.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/medien.rtwblog.de\/backtothefuture\/files\/2012\/01\/IMG_5803.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG 5803\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic Ocean had clear blue water and the beach right at the Cape was one of the finest I have ever seen. Albeit the water was quite cold due to the Benguela Current we were actually managing to\u00a0splash around carefully avoiding to loose the ground below our feet as the surge and the rip curls were very strong. In fact swimming on that beach is not permitted and there\u00a0are also no lifeguards. However, others were following our example and suddenly an entirely empty beach was &#8220;filled&#8221; with twenty people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_5829.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/medien.rtwblog.de\/backtothefuture\/files\/2012\/01\/IMG_5829.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG 5829\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 30 miles south of Cape Town is the Cape of Good Hope which we visited yesterday.
