Cape Point......truly amazing views






With morning coming early and every one's favorite tambourine nursing quite the hangover, we ventured out on the Cape Point tour with the Baz Bus. The day promised to be a beautiful one as the famous Cape Town weather finally turned good for us. Clear skies and low winds.....what a wonderful combination.

We went out from Cape Town and went down through Camps Bay and Clifton....which reminded me of the drive from Santa Monica to Malibu. We then stopped off at Houts Bay in time to check out the ferry out to the seal colony. The winds picked up and the waves were not good for Carolyn and her hangover, but she powered through. We then tried to go to Champman's peak, but the road was closed due to some debris blocking the road. So, over the mountains we went and stopped off at Muizenburg to check out the town at the heart of False Bay. Then we finally made it to Simon's Town for a quick check on the penguins.

After hanging out with the penguins, we finally made it to Cape Point National Park and got out to stretch the legs with a nice bike ride through some of the park to build up our appetite. After the bike ride and lunch, it was off to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, the most southwestern point of Africa, whatever that means?

The views were amazing and we got to do a bit of climbing around both Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. The views were truly outstanding and sometimes the camera just can't capture all that the eye can take in........truly amazing.

Until later........

Love, peace, and soul.
