This was one of those bucket list things. We were at the Cape of Good Hope near Cape Town, South Africa. Bartolomeu Dias rounded the cape in 1488 during Portugal’s search for a sea route to India. He initially named it the Cape of Storms due to treacherous seas, later renamed Cape of Good Hope by King John II of Portugal to reflect optimism about reaching Asia.
