Penguins, Baboons, and Ostrich, oh my! We took a trip down the Cape and who knew we would see so much wildlife. But, before almost being attacked by the aggressive baboons, we drove from Noordhoek to Hout Bay v
ia the
Chapman's Peak coastal toll road. What a scenic drive along the rocky coastline! There are 114 curves on the road. As we took our time driving the switchbacks nestled against the coastline, we stopped often. One stop resulted in a nice chat with two local retirees who were biking the peak. They invited us to join them for a hike the
next day...ah, South African hospitality at its finest. The rest of the day only got better with more beauty, including Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, and the excitement of close-up wildlife experiences. Imagine an ostrich within arms-length reach; I fe
lt like we were on the discovery channel. Watch out for the baboons...they are little terrors and will jump into your car i
f
given the
opportunity.

Sounds like quite the adventure, plus all of its beauty. Not sure about the baboons, but your pictures will capture all of the splendors of the peninsula.
