Penguins and Capes

Visiting the most southerly point of Africa was a must for Chris so we made a detour off the N2 to Cape Town to visit Cape Agulhas and stand astride where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean.

For our final day in Cape Town, we toured the peninsula sights, visiting.....
The fishing village of Houte Bay.



Travelled along the scenic Chapman's Peak Drive that clings impossibly to the steep mountainside as it plunges into the ocean.



The African penguin colony at Boulder, where we enjoyed watching the antics of these funny waddling birds.





The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point. We hiked from Cape Hope to Cape Point along the cliff top in very blustery but sunny conditions giving poignance to the nautically significant capes.
