Windy Cape Point

For our first "tourist" excursion from we headed down to windy Cape Point and the coast S of Cape Town.

African Penguins

African penguins are an endangered species with two colonies in South Africa - these ones are at Boulder Bay.

Cape Point

Then it was on into the Table Mountain National Park to Cape Point, which forms the northern limit of the enormous False Bay and is just south of the Cape of Good Hope, which is the extreme SW point of Africa.

Cape of Good Hope from Cape Point

The coast road back around Chapman's Peak is very spectacular, hugging the cliff.

Blown spray

False Bay is a windy part of the world.

Rainbow in the spray

Approaching Hout Bay the spray was forming a "rainbow" which we tried to photograph.
