So Friday here in Cape Town was again another gorgeous sunny day! The group took a trip to Camps Bay, which is a beach area past Seapoint (the area where they are building the 2010 World Cup arena - Bryan & Brett I took a picture for you guys). The beach was SO gorgeous. The waves were pretty big since there had just been a monsoon right before we arrived in Cape Town. There were signs with Shark warnings - and mom I know, I'm not going in the water..at least at that beach. There was kelp instead of seaweed that was literally like mini trees washed up on the shore. Around the area there were small shops (and this really good espresso place Nando's) , palm trees, & mountains in the background. We ate lunch (snoek & chips) at Mariner's Warf, & then went to see penguins around Haut Bay (they were small & adorable!). After there was more sightseeing around Chapman's Peak and the Cape Peninsula where we climbed to the top near this lighthouse, which is apparently the most southwestern point of Africa. I cannot even describe the view from the top - literally, breathtaking. There were no baboons out though, which was a little disappointing, but on the way back we saw a wild ostrich so that made up for it.
