THREE HAPPY DAYS IN HERMANUS

We love this place!

It is known for its whale sightings - some 80- 100 come in to the bay in April - Oct.  it must be a wonderful sight.

There is a cliff walk which takes you for miles both ways so we actually had some exercise and walked to Grotto Bay to our favourite cafe for breakfast, (and dinners!) rather than eat in The Daily Bread around the corner.!

A lovely shaded flat path too so we could walk upright rather than looking down.    Most of this holiday.we have had to look down.  No snakes here!!!

 

Endless sandy beaches in South Africa!!

Our room was the open window at the top - glorious view and very luxurious room.  So lucky and 

What a contrast to the boat!!

One of the whales surfaced!!!

The surf was quite strong but was wonderful swimming - people in swimming early in the morning and late at night.  A divine place!!

This house was dreamy!!  Has to be one of my best ever!!  We looked over to it from our room and you could see people  having breakfast right out on the edge !!

A swimming pool was lit up blue at night too.  Don't know if you can zoom in to see it.

They even had a big black nanny in a uniform who took the baby out in 

a traditional pram!!!!!   Think they were rather wealthy!!!

Had to go shopping in the elegant centre with cafes and bars all round by the sea. An ampitheatre built into the rocks for whale watching looked fun.

The picture below was our favourite restaurant overlooking the sandy beaches.  They had blue rugs if it got a bit chilly at nights!! Such fun

Bloody Mary's became our favourite at the lounge beach bar before going to the restaurant.   

Don't want to leave!!!!
