A quick visit to the Port Nolloth Museum. Frank was in his element.
Reminded him of his SA Navy Diving Days and the days he spent in
Porth Nolloth as a Diamond Diver.
Then it was off to Hondelipbaai via Kleinzee and Koingnaas (on the alternate dirt road)
Kleinzee was a lot bigger than we expected.
Previously a diamond town with restricted entry, but today you no longer
require the permit to pass through.
The few shops and restaurants in the town were all closed for the Saturday afternoon,
so we drove through the town and then headed for Koingnaas.

Finally we reached Hondeklipbaai. Took me back to when I was 9, which is when I was last here.
We checked into the Hondepondokkies and then took a touristy drive through the town, with no tar roads, no stop streets, no traffic lights.
Had the opportunity to take some photos of the ever famous Namaqua flowers.
Here the wind blows you into another dimension.
Pre dinner drinks at the "Rooi Spinnekop"
....and then dinner (crayfish) at the Dop and Kreef Restaurant on the
water front with a fabulous view of the setting sun.
