I’m on the top of the world (looking down on the bottom of Africa)

Wednesday and Thursday

Two days of Beach and Exploration. Found a really great beach Sandy Bay its about 15 Km south of Cape Town. The beach has beautiful sands and backdrop, easy access to the not so warm Atlantic waters. Gets a bit windy in the afternoon so that’s when we move to the rocks or go off and explore.

Yesterday afternoon we set on an expedition initially in search of Penguins ! We had to postpone our visit with the penguins as it was too busy and they were not receiving visitors. We set of South and eventually got to Cape Point and The Cape of Good Hope the most South Westerly point of the bottom of Africa This (we think) is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean. Went to the top of Cape Point in the funicular and the views were stunning. On the way back we dropped in on the Penguins and they were at home. They are great little creatures we managed to get really close to them and get some great pictures.

Today feeling a bit jaded after a night our clubbing, (I think we have done everyone now), so were being a bit lazy today, we have come back from the beach to sit by the pool and write to you all. Tonight Dinner and a Show looking forward to it. The weather is really fantastic yesterday 30 and today 29 degrees and sunny
