Cape Point to Swellingham

---

21st

Today we travelled to Cape point after picking up our hire car. Cape point is the bit we all learnt about at school. To the right of the first picture you can kind of see swirls in the water - this was where a ship wreck is under the water (i think!). It was well known for sail ships to be deliberately crashed/ran aground so that the ship owners could claim on insurance when sail boats went out of fashion. Stayed for lunch (a BLT for Paulie and a quiche for T), then zoomed off to Swellingham. Was pleased to get out of the big city. The big cities are a bit scarey, but all the little places in between are really nice.

Swellingham was a lovely little town where we stayed at a slightly weird backpacker place. All backpacker places seem to have dog's to play with. This one also had a cat. Had my first South African steak in a very friendly pub. T had pizza with all the things she likes on it.

Penguins
Aah, I love them. I would like a beach hut where you had penguins standing around. Are they friendly? Looking forward to MORE detail. (I don't mind not knowing what you had to eat.)

I have a picture at the same place
