Capetown is beautiful, even in winter. We attempted to hike Table Mountain, went out to Cape of Good Hope nature reserve and Cape Point, we saw penguins and Ostriches, we went to Stellenbosch Gardens, the Gold Museum, the Slave Post museum, and the waterfront. We attempted whale watching and Robbin Island but the weather didn't work out and the boats were canceled.
The gardens.
On the way to Cape of Good Hope are penguins...
Penguin!
Swimming
Taking a good look around.
Ostriches IN the road at the Cape of Good Hope. We were all, let's roll down the windows and take pictures!! Our cab driver thought we were nuts.
Steenbok!
We visited an ostrich farm and got to feed them. This one was a little bossy.
Cormorant drying his wings.
Yummy food everywhere.
The civic center had a neat exhibit on Nelson Mandela, since we were in Capetown right after his 95th birthday.
This is an art exhibit at the civic center. Using fence from Robbin Island, the artist represents the tiny cell than Nelson Mandela served something like 18 of his 27 years in prison.
As you can see, a cloudy day at the waterfront.
More pictures coming, I'll update this post later (forgot my memory stick with the rest of the pics).
