South Africa – Part 7 – Cape of Good Hope – Cape Town

The Cape of Good Hope is the most South Western point of the African continent!

I could probably spend hours just looking at the ocean.

I normally only take scenic photos, but I figured this may only be a once in a lifetime trip, so I should get some photos of myself in them!

South Africa Trip – Part 6 – Boulders Beach – Cape Town

Another must see when you go to Cape Town – The penguins at Boulders Beach!

There is a small entrance fee onto the beach to see the penguins, but it’s definitely worth it! (Also, you aren’t allowed on the sand with the penguins. You will be on a pedestrian deck and will be able to take photos. But if you want to get really close to the penguins, you find a couple of them off the beach and on pathways)

Can you see them?

What about now?PINIMAGEPINIMAGE

They were definitely fun to watch.

Did you know that penguins molt their feathers?

Can you spot the ones that are molting their feathers below? PINIMAGE

Here’s a close up of a penguin. PINIMAGEAnd a close up of one molting.

I wish I had brought a better telephoto lens to capture more individual penguins, because even though they look somewhat the same, the don’t!

Next penguin viewing goal- Emperor Penguins in Antarctica. #Bucketlist

South Africa Trip – Part 5 – Llandudno – Cape Town

While I was researching things to do in Cape Town, Llandudno kept showing up on places to go. When I told my driver that I wanted to go to Llandudno, he said we can drive through, but it’s just residential and nothing to really do or look at. But I said it was on my list, so we might as well see what it’s all about!

Residential is correct. (And by the way, I would LOVE to live here! A lot of new construction homes that are beautiful and right by the water.

As the road curved, I asked my driver to stop and park. We literally just parked right in front of some random houses. I saw a little pathway, and thought- We need to walk through this and get closer to the water! I climbed a few rocks and this is what I came across!

PINIMAGE

And I’m glad I did! It was so beautiful! PINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGE

It was very calm and peaceful! If I were able to have a vacation home anywhere- it would definitely be here! Especially if I could climp a few rocks to get here! PINIMAGEPINIMAGE

South Africa Trip – Part 4 – Table Mountain – Cape Town

After doing the whole Safari thing, I headed over to Cape Town. I only had a day and a half in Cape Town, so everything was basically jam packed into a day.

I was told I should go to Table Mountain as soon as it opens, as there can be a long line! And was also told to also try and go the first day, as Table Mountain closes if the winds are strong (so that if it is closed, I can try the next day).

I suggest buying tickets online as well. There are 2 lines – people who have already purchased tickets, vs people who need to buy tickets. They let all the people with pre-purchased tickets in first. They also have wifi where you wait in line, so you can easily purchase tickets while waiting inline. Even though I was one of the first groups inline to purchase a ticket, I definitely was not one of the first people to get in (especially with all the tour buses that come through!!) – That is if you decide to take the cable cars. You also have the option of hiking.

Anyways, time for pictures!

In the cable car on the way up!
