Touring the Cape Peninsula

A few weeks ago, we woke up the Sunday morning to find the most wonderful weather, so we decided to make the most of it and go for a drive around the peninsula. Our first stop was Simons Town!


We couldn’t help but smile when we saw these two ‘huge’ posters right next to each other… Read them carefully, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the irony…


Next, Hannah got to meet the most famous animal (or statue at least) in the Cape. “Just Nuisance” was a pet and playmate for many a sailor during the First World War while they were stationed in Simons Town.


We caught a couple of penguins bathing in the sun in Boulders, close to Muzenburgh.


And of course, what would a drive around the peninsula be without the famous “Chapman’s Peak”




Our final stop was in Houtbay, famous for its Fish & Chips. Here we had lunch followed by some fun on the beach.



Needless to say we had to end off the day with a braai that will bring a tear to any true South Africans eye... Especially if their overseas LOL.

Hi Nice story and photos. Unfortunately I could not read the issues you mentioned on the posters.

Are you 'skimping' for a comment???? And the only way to do that is to add a picture of a braai! Eish toggie! We are enjoying summer here, had one so far, but loads coming up! Will post some pics too.
