Blue Whale Resort

After Keuerboomstrand we drove on to a place called Blue Whale Resort. It was recommended to us by a local from the wilderness reserve. The name resort it actually misleading I think, as it is not a full service resort, but rather a place with 8 self-catering chalets at the end of a long, long dirt road that seems to lead into the ocean. We were lucky and had the very first chalet at the front. Already driving to the chalet was an impressive sight as it looked like you were driving into the water. When we stepped out onto our terrace,  we were absolutely stunned. The view was unbelievable and the feeling you got standing there is impossible to put into words. As if you are standing on the edge of the earth, all you see is endless ocean and there is noone else around but you!! There are no shops, restaurants, houses, tourists or even internet. Nothing! The last time we had a similar feeling was on our amazing hut on the Togean Islands, except here the world seemed even bigger and more alive with the massive waves splashing against the shore. We could not believe our luck! We quickly went into town, which was a 20 min drive away, did our grocery shopping and then went back and did not leave the place for 2 days. It was heaven on earth for us! For some reason this place touched our souls very deeply. I baked fresh bread, Mathias made a barbecue one night and grilled fish the other and inbetween we would look at each other and simply say: I cannot believe how beautiful this place is! The sunset on our second night was pure magic, filling the whole sky with a pink colour I had never seen before. We did not want to leave at all, but we were already a day short and had cancelled a day of whale watching in Hermanus. We had to keep going to make it to Cape Town in time if we still wanted to see the vineyards and Cape of Good Hope. We left with a wonderful feeling though,  because we had discovered another paradise spot for us! We will definitely be back here and then just disappear from the face of the earth into our paradise world for longer.
