Worcester to Cape Agulhas (Southern most point of Africa)
Worcester is a relatively small town so getting out of town was easy, no real traffic. It was cold again. 4'c when we set off at 8am. No point setting off any earlier as it is still dark.
The ride to Cape Agulhas was spectacular. My Garmin and Richards Garmin gave different routes to the destination. Mine agreed with Google so I followed that but it did take me on an unpaved road for a shortcut. Richard was in pain with his ankle and going off road was not an option so he followed the longer paved road.
There was a bit of a delay as we lost each other and had to stop and send messages to agree to be on separate routes. Seemed ridiculous to ride through Africa together and then split up on the last 80 miles.
Anyway, it worked out well and we met up in the town of Bredesdorp which is before L'Agulhas. We rode down to the coast and along the coast road and back before finding the monument.
Of course we took the photo opportunity and walked to the sea front plaque and map of Africa. After the photos we just sat and looked at the ocean for a while. It's a beautiful spot and marked the end of a long and eventful journey through Africa.
