Day 8: Cape Point and the Beach

Day 8: Cape Point and the Beach

It was a good start to the day; we all had a lovely breakfast before leaving for a day of sightseeing.

We started at the Cape of Good Hope, for once again another group photo and a few laughs as people tried to climb over rocks to get as far out as they could go. I was walking next to Dave when we slipped and I had to pull him up, he also happened to be holding my camera at the time, luckily it was unharmed. As was Dave.

Afterwards we drove round to Cape Point and made the climb to the top. The view was breath-taking and we even saw a Whale in the sea – well it wasn’t actually a Whale it was a rock but it could have been a whale. Then we saw an Elephant – well it wasn’t an elephant but it was a Dassie which is the closest relative to an elephant. Then we went to see the Penguins – don’t worry these were actually penguins.

Our last stop was the beach. The weather was not great, the sun was hidden behind the clouds and wind had picked up. We had lunch in a lovely little café style restaurant right on the sea front before some brave people paddled in the water. I went in myself and I have to say it might have even been colder than the water back home.

After a few ice creams we drove back to the hotel for some free time before dinner.
