Was a fabulous day! I was exhausted last night, couldn't blog. We headed out after a leisurely breakfast to explore the Cape. First, figuring out all the. Left sided driving! :) Dad did great...but truly, SA drivers are CRAZY!!! It's 40 km and they're going 100! It's kinda insanity!
Started off at Boulder Beach penguin colony. They were mostly offshore so rally only saw about 10 of them, but still worth it. It's so beautiful. The rocks are this great smooth rounded, and despite the weather out in the open, here it was calm in places and crystal clear!
Then we headed down the Cape, via the....lets see if I can remember...the M6. Through Simon's Town and other cute-as-a-button ocean towns on the east side of the Cape. Arrived at the Cape park...I cannot describe adequately how beautiful it is! And OMG the wind! Craziness. Take Hood River and multiply the wind times...well, a lot! :) On our way back we returned to Cape Town on the west side of the Cape. Went over Chapman's Pass with insanely narrow lanes, huge drop off and jaw-dropping views.
Loaded some pictures on Flickr...still can't figure out how to get them on here on my stupid iPad. Doesn't give me the correct options. :) Ocean is still too rough to for Robben Island or sharks, so I'll have to satisfy myself with the Two Oceans Aquarium and maybe the Slave Lodge Museum. Well, I'm off to breakfast! :)
