drive to Hermanus
The drive from Somerset West to Hermanus was our first experience with the South African coast. We were awed. At every bend we both would exclaim of the beauty. We stopped at the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden (another recommendation by our B&B hosts). It was beautiful and provided a lovely hike. We learned about the fynbos region and vegetation. (Fynbos is Africaans meaning fine bush.)
