Cape of Good Hope

Up and at ‘em a little later than we would have liked, but nonetheless we were on our way for the days adventures. Our first stop was to Boulders Beach where the African Penguin colony resided. We walked along the beach access for our close and intimate encounter with penguins whose funny walks made us laugh. Then it was over the board walk to see the wider colony in their breeding habitat.
Heading back into beautiful Simon’s Town, we stopped for some lunch at Hickory smoked meats where Lenny fell asleep behind Emily.
Then onwards to the Cape of Good Hope. We saw multiple ostriches on the way, and baboons on the road, but walking up the trail was an interesting endeavour in the blistering wind. Lennox loved travelling with uncle Amos but Rory didn’t appreciate being in the backpack.
The lookout was beautiful but the clouds started rolling in so we started to make our way across to Chapmans Peak Drive, going through Noordhoek Farm Village first.
Chapmans Peak was beautiful, with stunning views around the bay and carved into the cliffs and mountains itself. Photos couldn’t capture how large and grand the scenes were. Unfortunately we didn’t get the sunset we wanted, but it was still an epic end to the day. With the kids falling asleep in the car, we got some good old Maccas for dinner.Read more
