I awoke as our tent began to heat up with the early morning
sun. Camping is bearable since it cools off at night in South Africa; if the
temperatures were the same at night as they are during the day, we’d melt! After eating breakfast and solving some car troubles (we had a finicky tire) we ventured out to reattempt to reach the
coastal part of De Hoop. This time we made it – and what a stunning beach it
was!! We frolicked in the waves for a while before climbing into the car and heading
off.
We drove southwest to Arniston, a small fisherman’s village
with breathtaking beaches and seashore. Small white houses are perched on the
coast, contrasting the intensely turquoise waters lapping the sand. We
attempted to reach the cave that Arniston is famous for, but the tide was too
high so instead we beach hopped in the area and spent hours enjoying the sun
and warm water.
Exhausted and sun-zapped, we drove to Cape Agulhas where we
ate a feast at an Irish pub. We set up camp at a site on the coastline and
collapsed into our tent, sleeping soundly to the waves crashing nearby.
