（单词翻译）

 One view, however, is entirely1 man-made. The Pinnacle2 Point Golf Resort is my walk’s newest landmark3, but it sits on top of its oldest, as the caves beneath are home to the archeological site set to reveal secrets of the origin of mankind. The cliffs give way to the gentler ground as I pass the town of D*Bay and onto a massive stretch of unbroken golden sand. At this time of year, people come to this coast in the hope of seeing whales, dolphins and rare birdlife. And the end of the bay is a little village of F* Bay, a place I visited many times in the past and the last development before my walk finishes at the rocky headland of F, the perfect endpoint for looking back and admiring what you’ve just achieved. 

 
But back in Mossel Bay, the hospitality can make it difficult to even get started.
 
See, I told you, warm and friendly. 
 
Bye, ladies!
 
Bye!
 
This chap is B D. He’s a Portuguese4 sailor who landed here in 1488, proving that Africa did indeed have a southern tip and you could sail from Europe all the way round to the rich spice land of India.
