Cape of Storms

Sunday is usually a day for rest and relaxation, but not for us.  We met our guide Martin and our driver Shaquille at at 8 AM.  Shaquille will be referred to in any future comments as Shaq Fu or the Diesel for clarity sake.  

We left the hotel and traveled south out of Cape Town to Fish Hook and Simon town and then out to the Cape of Good Hope the southwestern most point of Africa. We also saw Cape Point with its light house.  This is the part where my wife checks out because a lot of these pictures don't have anyone or anything in them. 

Martin, our guide is fascinating with his take on the evolution of South Africa and it history.  He is a great guy to see SA with.

OK, sit back and smoke a cigarette and drink your brandy.  It is time for the art house portion of today's photos:

Ok, the Cape Point Reserve was fascinating, much more arid then I would have ever guessed.  It is home to baboons and steenbok.  We didn't see any mountain zebras.
