South Africa - Ride on Wheels for the Whales

[ckii96]

I'm always fascinated by the size of the whales and whenever the chance arrive for whale-watching, I would never miss it, and there was a chance in South Africa! Although it took me more than 3 hours to move southeast from Cape Town to Hermanus, I was never bored as the tour van drove along the scenic coastal drive.

The first stop was on the hill overlooking the town of Hermanus.

Did I say whale-watching? Opps! Where are the whales? Here they come!

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing.

I have been to SA twice and drove the coastal road before and the beauty of the coastline is breathtaking! Even visited the Cape twice! :)

But it was strictly with friends who have no interest in photography so I was indeed a tourist just whizzing through. Gotta to do it again with my camera and gear.

Thanks uncle noordin. :) The coastlines of South Africa are really beautiful, some are perhaps at the top of the world list. The same goes to the Amalfi Coast of Italy.
