Das phlegmatische Land
... dass noch viele Reisende hier stoppen um hier wieder Leben in die Stadt zu spülen. Es geht später wieder weiter durch Stoppeläcker und an Kuhweiden vorbei durch das unendlich schöne Land. Die Wattebauschwolken schwimmen in 3D am azurblauen Himmel. Der letzte Ort am letzten Ende dieser Strasse ist Agulhas. Südlichster Punkt Afrikas.
