May 27- Cape of Good Hope


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.

Pretty harbor.  Our boat tour left from here.
