CAPE PENINSULA


After a week of hanging out around Jeffreys Bay, I went back to Cape Town to meet up with Laura and Rhea. They had just recently finished their research in Tsumkwe, Namibia and came down to Cape Town with a couple of friends, Maria and Roshina. The day after we all met up we took a tour of the Cape Peninsula. Cape Town is amazing! I think it may be one of my favorite cities in the world, and this day trip totally reaffirmed that. We started our morning with a drive through wine country - wine and cheese and crackers for breakfast! After that we took off for the peninsula, stopping in Simon's Town for lunch and to see some penguins. Then we drove to the Cape of Good Hope, the most southwestern point on the African continent, where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet. The picture on the left is of the Cape Point lighthouse, and the picture on the right is of the Cape of Good Hope. The ostrich in the picture next to us must have been the most southwestern ostrich on the African continent at the time...
