It was a spectacular drive along the coast with our guide from South Africa, Willem Swanepoel. After our coffee break, we hadn't gone far before we saw hundreds of baboons just wandering along the roadside. We were excited when we reached the Cape of Good Hope, the most southern tip of Africa. We were later to learn that, in fact, that was not the case. A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic
and Indian oceans. In fact, the southernmost point of Africa is about 150 kilometers (90 mi) to the east-southeast. This created some confusion and early deaths for some very early sailors. As we traveled to the Cape, we were surprised to see so many ostriches and zebras. That picture of the zebra hardly looks real. On the way, we stopped at a cove where the penguins hang out. It was so cool to be so close to penguins in their natural habitat. On our way back getting ready for our lunch, we saw some other wild animals preparing for a lunch of their own. It was quite fun to see where the local sea lions found food to eat and how they chased the man with a bucket of leftover fish that he threw in the ocean. The sea lions weren't far behind, climbing the ledge and jumping in after them.
A delicious meal for us, too, ended a beautiful day with an amazing view.Okumaya devam et
