On Friday, June 22, 2012, six friends and I decided to go on a weekend getaway to one of their holiday houses in Suiderstrand, Cape Aguhlas (the Southern most tip of Africa for those of you who do not know0. This weekend away was exactly what I needed as I had been working non-stop and hadn't really had a holiday yet. And just before I'm about to start my new job beginning of July (more on that later), it was the perfect opportunity.
It was a three hour drive there (actually, a little bit longer thanks to 'wrong way Dave' getting us lost!) but it actually worked out well as the route was very scenic and made me realise what an absoloutely beautiful country we live in! From being surrounded by mountains with babboons on the side of the road, to dams that had a sheer glass reflection of the trees surrounding it, and not forgetting the beautiful ocean, we really are fortunate to have all these things 'on our doorstep'.
There are not too many things to do in Cape Agulhas, so it was the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. If you are visiting, however, you could go to the lighthouse and climb up the stairs to the top; you could sit at the Southern most tip of Africa where the two oceans meet; you could go to the beach or visit art galleries or even indulge in some amazingly fresh fish and chips.

Our weekend consisted of playing games, watching Euro 2012 soccer matches, making 'potjiekos', relaxing by the fire, and taking breathtaking walks on the beach to admire the absolutely beautiful surroundings of Suiderstrand. The weekend came to an end far too soon for my liking, and before we knew it, it was time to leave and back to reality. As all good things must come to an end, I am glad that the weekend was spent making unforgettable memories with amazing people!
