May 19th

So May 19th...

Sus, Chris, & I drove to the Cape of Good Hope

it's in a National Park

It was a beautiful day, windy, but pretty!

Cape Point is actually more of an attraction than CoGH

We hiked to the lightouse!

look how pretty the water is!!!

we could see old shipwrecks in the distance.

touching both sides of the cape ;)

at the lighthouse.

this sign you can see says things like NYC 950 miles (or however many)

our picnic at the CoGH

it was very very windy

sus and i got in the water

this counts as swimming right????

swimming at the cape of good hope

perfect day!

May 18th

Sus & I walked around the market near Long Street during the morning.

Then we headed to Boulder Beach after a nap.

Boulder Beach is the home of like 3000 pengiuns.

You can pay (like a sucker) to get on the beach,

OR walk along the boardwalk FOR FREE!!!

umm, i wanted to smuggle this little guy back home with me,

but the sign says no.... whatever fools.
"mom, my neck is so fat, i can't move"

"taking a rest"

hence the name, boulder beach

not fake, i swear

just coming back from a swim

There were lots of BEWARE OF BABOON signs

"baboons are dangerous, DO NOT feed baboons"

but while we were driving back, this is what we saw...

Just contemplating when he was gonna just on our car and beat us up.
