Took a tour to the Cape of Good Hope. The ocean is a beautiful color. Our first stop was for a boat ride to "Seal Island." Unfortunately we are a month too early to see the whales.
Our next stop was a lighthouse that is between Table Bay and False Bay (so named because sailors mistook it for Table Bay). What a spectacular view!
We went to a great spot to see the African Penguins. They were a hoot... literally. They have been called the "Jack Ass" Penguin due to the sound they make... you would swear it was a donkey braying.
Our final stop was a botanical garden. This part of Africa is one of the top six floral sites in the world.
