11,642km to Sydney

Here is Aditi at the Cape Point in the Cape of Good Hope National Park, outside of Cape Town - feeling a little homesick at the distance so stark on the sign!!
The Cape of Good Hope is touted in many tourist brochures as the southern-most tip of the African continent & thus the place where "two oceans meet," being the Atlantic & Indian oceans off South Africa's west & east coast respectively. You're meant to be able to look out and see a clear demarcation in the water as the cool Atlantic collides with the warm Indian currents.
This, however, is absolute hogswash! The oceans meet about an hour further east off Cape Agulhas.
