Cape of Good Hope

On New Years Eve we went to the Cape of Good Hope.

It was an all day trip to get there and back to Cape town

On our way down we stopped at this wonderful Italian restaurant to have a morning cup of coffee. For all of you who know Chuck, a second cup is necessary about 10:00am. I just loved the restaurant and took this picture to share with you. You would think we were in Italy.....all the way down to the restaurant owner (pictured here) who spoke in the most delightful Italian accent.


Our next stop was in Boulder to see the penguins. There are thousands of them here. Why they pick this particular beach over any other is a mystery to me. At one point of the beach were people swimming with them. What a great sight.

About lunch time we happened upon this wonderful outdoor seafood restaurant. This is the best advertisement I can give for South Africa.



Lobster Bisque, 2 wonderful seafood dishes and some yummy chocolate cake for desert, plus our drinks. Total for lunch for 2 about $20





On to the cape.

Here are some pictures.





And the proof we finally made it there. This is not the southern most tip of Africa. (That will come later) Cape of Good Hope is the southwestern most and the more familiar point.
