African Penguins

The day after we arrived in Cape Town we decided to take a road trip down to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, we thought it would take 2 hours, but really only took 45 minutes, but we stopped off in Simon's Town to see the penguins that are there! It was beautiful driving down there, the scenery here is GORGEOUS!

As you can see Cape Town is where the big red dot is and Cape Point is all the way at the bottom, Simon's Town is the next red dot up on the right side. We were able to follow False Bay during the drive back up to Cape Town and it was so pretty. Just to warn you, I LOVE the water, not to be in it, but just seeing it, watching it, hearing it, and so I will have probably a lot more water pictures on here than you like, but I love them. :)

Starting our drive.

Seeing False Bay!

Our first glimpse at a McDonald's that we've had in 11 months!!!! And yes we did stop back there on our way home to eat lunch, and it was divine!!!!

A look at False Bay from Simon's Town, breathtaking.

A lighthouse out in the water.

The lighthouse on the left and then that rock on the right is called Noah's Rock.

This was the boardwalk we took to go down and see the penguins, it was quite a windy day too. See the penguin to the right??

Spencer almost missed this one right next to the boardwalk. They were so cute!

I love this smile of Spencer's, and then there are penguins behind him in the brush.

Beautiful look out into the Bay.

Lots of African Penguins!

We loved watching them and waiting for them to go jump in the water, but it was a tad cold so I don't blame them for not going in too much.

I took this picture because these four looked like they were in a club about to go off and do secret stuff.

Nice beach, huh?

More penguins up close.

Finally one got into the water! But he didn't stay for too long.

We had a blast watching the penguins just waddle around everywhere, and the day was beautiful as you can see.
