T minus 3 days! Eeek!

---

Simon's Town, again, and more penguin pictures - what can i say!? My little trip to the beach town was a bust though, it rained! Man i have the worst luck with weather!

But i got lots of reading done which is a nice change... I read the childhood memoir of a coloured guy who lived in a township in the years before aparthied ended, and i'm almost finished the memoir Out of Africa by Karen Blixen. She writes about living in Kenya in the early 1900's and its really intresting to read her thoughts and experiences in East Africa and compare them to my own. Add those two books to Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela which i read a couple months ago and I'd say my knowledge of african literature is pretty well rounded!

Anyhoots, just thought i'd put up a quick post to remind you all how cute those penguins are :o)

Three days.... god, i'm both excited and disappointed to be leaving, what a weird mix of emotions!

Penguins in the Rain
I may have been cold and wet, but it was worth it to get this fantastic shot

Boulders Beach
I just cant resist taking pictures of hilarious signs - it's not everyday you see a sign like this one!

Boulders Beach
Penguins!! It's hard to tell, but in this picture they are swimming/flopping out of the water in a wave onto the beach. It's pretty hilarious to watch as i'm sure you know they're not very nimble on land.
