Continuing our day tour with Tom and Susie.

Here are more pictures of our day drive with Tom & Susie. I didn't  want to bore you with to many pictures . The drive was beautiful with all the different  landscapes, the scenery of the mountains and the coastline. It was a great day.

Aren't  these houses unique?

The Boulders in Simon's Town is home to the African Penguins. 

The holes in the sand are nesting and breeding holes..

This penguin is nesting.

This Hout Bay where stopped to get coffee before heading back to Capetown. 

These kids were climbing  up the mast of an old sunken ship and jumping of. They knew we were watching so they got braver by going up higher and jumping of.

Capetown and it's vicinity

The first few pictures are of the Capetown two bridges we had to come through to get to our berth. Then a few of the V & A Waterfront  Marina.  After Christmas our friends Tom & Susi took us on a day trip around  the peninsula . So this is part of the day.

This is it he first  bridge that had to be opened to get through. It's  a swing bridge.
 

 The second  is called the bascule  bridge. Once through you are in the marina heading for your berth.

These are all part of the Waterfront . The one ahead is the the food market.

The Alfred Mall with the big ferries wheel  in the back ground.

We came around the Cape of Good Hope  to get to Capetown.  Once we rounded the Cape we knew we had made it.

Monkeys encountered during our drive.

The male decided  to take a nap in the middle of the road. No worries. And no moving.

Waves breaking on the rocks.  It was very windy  that day .

Showing the large kelp that is every where along the shore line.

This is looking up at the lighthouse. We took the rail car up and then walked down.

Capetown

Don and I are trying to do some sightseeing so one day we took a bus up to the famous Table Mountain. It was beautifu clear day.When we got to the base there was a two hour  cue to get on the cable car to the top of the mountain. But a worth while wait. The view was spectacular,  all the different flowers, bushes, birds and animals. It was amazing.

Thread-leaved Klass low bush.

That was the line for getting on the cable car plus a view of Capetown.

Lots of different kinds of floral and shrubs. This is called Safari Sunset.
