I agree with the author who wrote this statement—do you know his name? Capetown and this small piece of South Africa that we've explored so far is indeed beautiful. The weather, the landscape and the people are lovely!
We rented a car for a few days. Today, we explored Simon's town and then traveled on to the Cape of Good Hope. We returned via the western side of the peninsula, through Table Mountain National Park taking the Chapman's peak drive, and ended up in Hout Bay where we had a fine supper of kingklip at the Mariner's wharf. Richard manoeuvred through the switchbacks and hills and valleys well in the dark to return to Cape Town; we were welcomed by a huge expanse of lights sprawled out between the hills and valleys. The roads in Cape Town area have been pretty easy to navigate—I guess driving in Lusaka has taught us something!
Simon's town is the home of the African penguin—cute little guys! We were going to swim with them, but changed our mind and just waded close to them and took photos. The Cape of Good Hope is amazing; it is where the Atlantic and Indian oceans converge—well almost. Actually at that point it is mostly the marine life that converges as actually Cape Agulhas is further south than the Cape of Good Hope.

"OK, Samson and Camody—come back here right now, I can see you running off, get back here NOW" Oh, so sorry, wrong photo—these are the penguins—not my precious boys!
These are "our kids"; aren't they so cute? Stanley is the tall boy with the drum, Carals is the short one leaning on the wall, Agent has the orange shirt on, Obert has the red "vodaphone" shirt on, Brivery is at the back.
Back to South Africa and the southern part of Western Cape.
