Daytripping The Cape Peninsula

October 22, 2008 By Dave

The Daytrippers van picked me up around 8:30am and we drove south along the Atlantic coast. The weather was perfect, cool with a warm heat radiating down from the sun. Our first stop was Hout Bay from which we took a ferry to Duiker Island to see the colony of Cape fur seals. They did […]

Why can’t I skip South Africa? the view from Table Mountain in Cape Town hanging out with Warren on his home turf wild penguins learning about apartheid […]
