Republic of Hout Bay Hout Bay is not only famous for its fresh fish and harbour, but also as the "Republic of Hout Bay". Back in time, someone made up his own passport of the Republic of Hout Bay and travelled to many countries in the world, without anybody noticing his false document. (Urban legend: The passports were actually made, as a publicity drive, but there is no reliable record of any of them being actually accepted by any foreign customs post as genuine) |
