Holy Windy
Today can be summed up by one word: windy. It was windy out there today kids. The kind of wind that makes you earn every step. We got a nice early start today about 11:00AM and drove south along the Atlantic making our way towards Cape Point.
Here is a nice picture looking south a short distance away from the B&B:
Beautiful view looking back towards Cape Town from Cape Point:
Angry Atlantic Ocean:
One has to be cautious of the local wildlife. Unfortunately we only saw a handful of Baboons while driving and were unable to get any photos. We really wanted to see Baboons. I think they were smart and stayed away due to the wind.
After Cape Point we visited Boulders Beach. Sight of African Penguins chillin' on an amazing beach.
Final picture taken near the base of the Table Mountain Cable Car. The operation was shut down for the day due to the winds. We will try again tomorrow. If not we can hit up Table Mountain at the end of the trip.

Nice photos, guys! That's really neat you got to talk with a member of parliament.
You guys need to get flying human squirrel outfits and let the wind do the work...take an aerial tour!
Let me know when you're both ready to swim with the Great Whites, I want to see those photos.
I thought I posted a comment under "family" but maybe not. Great to read of your first adventures. Take the Parliament member up on the dinner invitation if you can - never know where it could lead.
love,
