Absolutely stunning set and another great tour along the southern tip of Africa.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thank you for commenting, Eberhard. Indeed I am always surprised how detailed the OLC pack is.

Another brilliantly narrated tour Gerold.

Thank you Jack. I have been talking to many friends who have travelled there - in those times when travelling was possible...

The worthy continuation of your journey, Gerold. I bet you're going in direction of Capetown. ;)

Thanks Lars. And I can already reveal the magnet under the table is really strong... :D
