Day 8: Penguins & Baboons

Today was totally amazing.  Clinton took us on a scenery and animal adventure.  We started along the Atlantic coast and then crossed over to the Indian Ocean. To begin, we drove to Camps Bay which is a few miles south of here.  Clinton knew of a "secret" path to the ocean.






We then went to Chapman's Peak. Stunning!



Next was the thrill of the day--African Penguins--at Boulders near Simon Town. Here's an adult and two babies.





And one of Peggy's videos.





We ate lunch at the same place we went to in 2017. Still delicious.


Then we had the highlight of the day.  There were baboons along the coastal road where Clinton drove us. I have never seen them like this before--one grouping after the next. Fabulous!!

A magnificent ending to our stay in Cape Town.
