South Africa, Witsand

In Cape Town we rented a little car to go along the South African coast. Our first stop we made in Witsand which reminded us a lot of Los Osos, CA and where we stayed for four days

Witsand is known as THE Whale Nursery of Southern Africa, due to the record number of Southern Right whales that migrate to St. Sebastian Bay annually between June and November

We would have liked to stay a little longer but were already a little short of time...
