Yesterday I blogged a little about visiting “extreme” locations on the globe and about my visit to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the African continent. Here are a few more pictures from my visit to Cape Agulhas. My fiance and I spent a long weekend in Agulhas in March 2009. We visited the lighthouse and went on a few beachside hikes. On this overcast weekend, the tip of Africa looked mysteriously beautiful and quiet, like a calm before a storm or an eye of a hurricane. Click on any of the pictures below to view larger.
