South Africa 2018 - Day 3: Cape Peninsula Tour

We met in the lobby at 07.20 to gather on the bus for a tour to Cape Point. We started the day by backtracking slightly where I ended yesterday, passing the V&A waterfront. We then drove past Camps Bay and stopped for a photo opportunity before driving on to Chapman's Peak. The drive on Chapman's Peak had some great scenery to take in I definitely chose the best side of the coach to sit on. We then headed further along the coast to Cape Point where we saw some wild baboons in the area and some birds and sea lions resting on some rocks. In late morning we walked up a small hill to the Cape Point lighthouse.

We then made our way to Boulders Beach next in the early afternoon, to see the South African penguins. The South African penguin is also known as the jackass penguin. We then made a stop in Kalk Bay for a late lunch. I tried a freshly sourced toasted tuna mayonnaise sandwich with fries as a side dish for R50/£2.90.

The final stop of the day on the way back north, we visited Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. which is located just east of Table Mountain. We then made our way back to the hotel to end our final full day in Cape Town. I have enjoyed my time here and have seen everything I planned to see before arriving.
