Trip to the Cape of Good Hope

Here I am in the Victoria Wharf Mall. I just wanted you to see what nice stores they have. This store sells African specialty items. Yup, you guessed it - too expensive for Grampa!!



We took off on a fun trip to see the Cape Point. This is us driving---no I'm just kidding. This is a pretty good example of the morning traffic on our way to the office. As we drove to the Cape on our p-day, it was a pretty nice drive through several little resort towns.


We stopped in Fish Hoek to see the penguins and got a few pictures of them. We found that some of the signs about the animals were about as interesting as the animals!

Hope you can read the sign - it says "Please check under your car for sleeping penguins."
Near the penguins were a few little open tables like a flea market where we actually bought some trinkets! The people are so cute and you just want to help them out. Yes, family this is where we got some of your Christmas!!

We then drove on down the Cape to the Cape Point National Park. After entering, we stopped at a little museum about whales and all the animals on the cape. There we saw this ostrich roaming around behind the building.

This is the Cape Point - there is a lighthouse on a high cliff just behind this that we took the picture from. I'll put a pic of the lighthouse on the next post.
