Cape Point




Thursday's trip to Cape Point may have been my favorite of the week. I have never seen such incredible shoreline driving, anywhere. The little towns along the coast on the way to the point are all quite charming and the point is stunning. There is good hiking there too all along the cliffs. The surf is exhilerating.
On the way back we experienced our own little impromtu safari. We saw ostritch by the road - a family of these mammouth birds was feeding at dusk, and we found a beach where the penquins nest. There were hundreds of them, and we walked along the boardwalk. They seem to honk when they lay eggs or something. Ths sound is quite distinctive and deafening at times. It was fun. We ended the day at a restuarant in Cape Town - Mama Africa. Most people were eating cariboo stew and sprinbok steak, quite exotic. After viewing ostritch on the road I could not quite imagine having one for dinner, even if it does taste like chicken.

Will this replace the picture of Sarah's last trip to this point on your desktop when you return?
