On the Cape of Good Hope in Cape Town baboons roam freely in search of food or anything they can get their hands on. This guy was just hanging out on the roof of a taxi car in the parking lot.
That's quite a congregation Dad is preaching to. If only I could hear what he's saying.
The views from Cape Point are stunning.
We toured Robben Island and learned about the prison system during Mandela's time there. It was really interesting and is such a poignant time in South Africa's history. You can see Table Mountain and Cape Town in the background.
We took the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain. The ride was awesome, the views of the city and Cape Point were unbelievable and the wind was whipping the whole time. We enjoyed a cup of coffee at the top to warm up after walking around for a bit.
There was a maze of walkways all along the table top making all views easily accessible.
"Im on top of the world!"
Probably one of the more powerful parts of this trip for Mom and Dad was seeing the squatter camps. It's hard to believe people live like this. These camps line the sides of the highway outside of Johannesburg. And right across the street is middle-class living. What a contrast separated by only a few yards.
We visited the Sudwala caves, the oldest known caves in the world at 200,000 thousand years old. Mom and Dad definitely get the good sport awards for this day... canes and all.
We spent our last day in Cape Town on a winelands tour. We visited six different vineyards and tasted lots of wine. This was our favorite, cheese platter and all.
Kruger National Park was a day well spent. We saw lots of animals from lizards crossing the road to packs of elephants in woods. This zebra moment just made me laugh. Heads or tails?
During our all-day trek back to my village ending the whirl-whin tour of South Africa we stopped to enjoy the magic of Long Tom pass.
