Day 687

Count Up => +1
We have now started our personal tour of South Africa, this is Day 1. We headed for the Cape of Good Hope today knowing it was going to be raining off and on. This is a trip that you spend a lot of time in the car and we were hoping for sunny breaks when we got out to see things. We asked Martha to come along and she was excited to do so.
We first stopped at Simon's Town to see the penguins. We were practically the first on the beach. We met Sean Robertson from Idaho but grew up in Salt Lake around 45th South and Redwood Road. He has traveled the world (52 countries) working mostly on ships as a repair diver and inspector. We left just as it started to rain. We then went down to the Cape of Good Hope and the sun was out so we hiked up to the lighthouse and had some great weather. We also drove down to the beach and took some photos there too. We then went to Scarborough for lunch then up to Hout Bay to the bird refuge. We only saw about a third of it before it closed. We then decided to drive up the coast and around Signal Hill into Cape Town. We hit rush hour traffic so it took us a while to get back to the boarding. We were exhausted so we took a nap then got up and finished packing for tomorrow we take off on our adventure.
