Hermanus, a small cozy town, just 3 hours drive from Cape Town is famous as the whale town. You can actually spot the whales from the shore flipping their tails and spitting water in the air. We decided to drive down to Hermanus during our 5 days stay in Cape Town while enroute to Gansbaai sending Adri for her shark cage diving. Me and May decided not to go as it was slightly costly for us as we had spend quite a fortune for this South Africa trip.
As Adri needs to be at the shark cage diving centre for the second session, we can take some leisure time to drive down to the southern part of the Cape Peninsula. On the way from Gansbaai to Hermanus, we saw the most amazing cloud blanket over the mountains. We stopped by Hermanus for the whale watching and managed to catch some amazing pizza for lunch (it's a three layer pizza).
