We finally made it to Cape Point, the most south-westerly point of Africa. But there was still some walking to do up to the lighthouse.

Many people cheated and took the Flying Dutchman Funicular instead, but that would take away from the sense of accomplishment at reaching the top, I thought.

And a chance to catch my breath along the way while taking in more of the marvelous views.

At the lighthouse, there was the obligatory direction post. We’d travelled a long way from Sydney, that’s for sure.

That’s the end of our Cape Point adventure. But I’m not done with South Africa just yet.
