The road opens like a map under the wheels as you leave Cape Town, vineyards and rolling canola fields alternating with fynbos until the coastline tightens and the sea begins to speak in two voices. At Cape Agulhas the land leans into the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and the survey marker at the tip offers a blunt, unforgettable horizon where currents and weather argue softly.
