Table Mountain

We climbed Table Mountain and it was BEAUTIFUL!  It took about 2.5 hours, and we had an amazing view of Cape Town from the top.  Then, we took the Cable Car down because it was too late to hike down the path (which was very steep). On top, we noticed a beautiful beach down below and rewarded ourselves with a lovely dinner on the beach.  It was a fabulous day.

Cape of Good Hope

We spent an afternoon exploring the Cape of Good Hope.  There were a multitude of birds endemic to the peninsula and Adam's eyes were glued to his binoculars.  We also saw ostrich and a number of other mammals.  We weren't lucky enough to see whales, but hopefully we will see them soon!  The Cape of Good Hope was astonishingly beautiful and fantastically windy, and we can see why it was difficult to round during the days of exploration.  We were almost blown off the peninsula!

Penguins

We enjoyed a flock of wild penguins on our tromp down to the Cape of Good Hope.

Sea Point, Cape Town

We arrived in Cape Town and spent the first night enjoying Sea Point, a bustling waterfront.
