As I am still on holiday, my son and I decided to explore some of the Western Cape’s beauty. It was an overcast day and a perfect day for a road trip. We decided to explore the area up to Hermanus. We drove through the Strand and Gordonsbay.

We again stopped in Hermanus and strolled through the town. It was packed and we battled to get parking. This must be one of the restaurants that is the closest I have ever seen to the water edge.

On the way back from Hermanus we took the N2 and turned off at Grabou. Just before Velliersdorp we took the Franschoek turnoff and got this view of Franschoek.
