Our last full day in Cape Town, we completed a drive to around the south point of Africa. Actually, the "most southwest point of Africa," but meaningful nonetheless. We initially drove to Boulder Beach and checked out the penguins. This experience was unique, as approaching them within 1 meter, swimming with them, and photographing from within a couple feet are no problem at all. April appears to be nesting season, as we saw fresh eggs being incubated as well as a few newborn chicks. Very cool. Let's hope just one out of the 300 photos I took today turns out.
Onward we drove to Cape Point, boasting the spot where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans Merge. Imagine the Northern Coast of California, throw in a desert-like climate, and perhaps a few wild baboons, ostrich, penguins, rare birds, and dassies. We saw them all on our drive today. We also hit up the Cape of Good Hope, just around the corner from the Cape Point Lighthouse. Fantastic views were revealed around every corner. We also saw by far the largest beach I've ever layed eyes upon. Just HUUUUUUUUGE. And not a single person on it.
Dinner was some Mozambican steak dipped in peri-peri sauce, and then it was off to the hotel to get up for an early flight tomorrow.
