Once you have collected your baggage head off in a mobile home rental at Cape Town to where ever you want to go. The staff are very helpful and should you need a camper van, they have offices very near to the airport. Arrangements can be made to pick you and when you leave South Africa they will transport you back to the airport after you have dropped off the vehicle. One thing you have to try weather permitting is the ride out to Cape Point. This Southern most tip of Africa sticks far out into the two opposing oceans, namely the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. In 1488 Bartholomeu Dias, the Portuguese, while on a sailing venture, was the first to sail around the Cape. On his return journey he named it Cabo Tormentoso, or Cape of Storms. Much later did Vasco Da Gama round the Cape in 1497 on his way to India and so open a trade route. The sea and winds that are known to broil out of this region are legendary and the bad weather can roll right up the coast past Hermanus and Gansbaai and may begin show some signs of slowing when it gets to Arniston. The coast line is dotted with Lighthouses and some have been in existence from the turn of the century.
