Super cool off-the-beaten-path attractions in South
South Africa can be said to be our favorite country during our one-year trip in Africa. We stayed there for over a month and couldn't bear to leave. ππ South Africa is nothing like what I imagined Africa to be; the scenery along the way makes you want to settle down.π πRecently, there's great news: South Africa will officially launch electronic visas in November! That's absolutely fantastic!! This vibrant Rainbow Nation is becoming easier and easier to visit. π Today, I want to share a niche check-in spot we discovered in South Africa β the magical wreck at Cape Agulhas!π£ πΊ This is Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet.ππ It retains extremely well-preserved natural ecological beauty. Driving another 1 kilometer along the coastline, we found a stranded Japanese fishing boat, which is perfect for taking super cool blockbuster-style photos.π πΊ The entire hull has been corroded by time and seawater, left uninhabited, and has become a habitat for seagulls. π‘ Japanese characters printed on the fishing boat are faintly visible under the of the sea, hard to spot if you don't look carefully. The whole boat has turned over and fallen into the sea, long since corroded, becoming a home for birds.ππ πΊ Coming here at sunset is even more spectacular. The fishing boat, set against the sunset, exudes a more magical atmosphere. As the sun sets on the horizon, the fiery red sunset glow lights up the sky, making the entire sea even more illusionary.π Experiencing this day firsthand, I somehow felt that although there's no time machine in the world, there are countless ways to take you back to the past.π΅π΅ βΌοΈ Checking the information, it turns out that this forgotten fishing boat surprisingly coincides with the "Flying Dutchman" ghost ship from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. The wreck of the Dutchman in the movie is said to have near Cape Agulhas.ππ π Location: Search Cape Agulhas on Google Maps, then drive about 1 kilometer further and you'll see it. It's very close to the shore, and you can even climb onto it when the tide is low. βοΈ Transportation: We drove there by ourselves, which was more convenient.ποΈποΈ #GalleSriLanka#GalleTravelGuide
