First stop: Gordons Bay
Gordons Bay is usually packed with "holiday-makers" but (because we came in winter) was fairly sleepy and calm. We had a lovely walk along the beach and looked at all of the cute shops that have been around forever (meaning that my parents remembered them from their childhood).
It was one of the first sunny days we had and it was so beautiful to have a stroll and see people having a relaxing Sunday fishing outing. I have decided that it has to be a good place if this sign is indeed speaking truth...
Any home of ice cream is a home of mine!
Next stop: Hermanus (this is especially fun to say like a grumpy Spanish granny--I dare you to try it!)
Hermanus is very beautiful, and a bit more polished and modern than the other little towns we'd visited. This is mainly because it is quite touristy (think Santa Barbara) but is still super. We were hoping to catch a glimpse of a whale
 |
| This is the best bit of vandalism I have ever seen! |
....but we didn't :{
I think we must have just missed them. Hermanus is supposedly a great place to whale-watch and even has smiling rubbish bins!
 |
| Everyone knows that a place with happy rubbish bins has to be a good place to whale watch...yup, you can go look it up, but only super cool people know about it, so good luck. |
We had some fantastic fish and chips--which is always best when eaten by the sea-- and then greasily piled back into our mini-bus to go to the next town.
