Cape Peninsula Tour - Part 3

From Cape Hope we drove a short distance to Cape Point where we took a 15 minute hike to the Cape Point lighthouse. There we were able to explore the most south western point of Africa. It is here where the cold Atlantic Ocean meets the warm current of the Indian Ocean. As a side note, South Africa is one of the best destinations in the world for watching whales and dolphins. Many whales use the warm waters for calving and rearing their young. Our day culminated with a quick visit to Bo-Kaap, a Muslim neighbourhood within Cape Town, to photograph the colourful houses which carry historical significance. It is where the slaves would go on January 2nd, the one day off that all slaves were given as a day of rest. Many settled here once their freedom was gained. The colours represent their freedom of expression and other free choices. We returned to our hotel at 5pm delighted by a very full and enriching day of touring.💕もっと詳しく
