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:
There were really nice tidepools at Scarbourgh Beach. This was a quiet sleepy little town. Not much there but what was there was pleasant. Signs indicated this was a conservation village, not sure what that means though.
Random Ostrich cruzin' down the road:
The cute traveling couple on the way to Cape Point Lighthouse with the Cape of Good Hope in the background. Yes it was crazy windy. My guess is sustained winds of 50 MPH with gusts over 60 MPH. The wind was throwing me (Brian) around and I weigh 180 pounds. We were leaning pretty far into the wind just to make forward progress. It was pretty hardcore out there.
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.
