Wind and salt press against your face as the road thins and the horizon opens: here, at Cape Agulhas, the coastline tilts south and the ocean seems to decide which way to run. On a clear day the wind carries the crash of surf and the rattle of gulls; a low stone lighthouse keeps quiet watch above a scatter of rusted wrecks.
