Aside from getting my heart racing
abseiling down Table Mountain, I explored a little further, taking in the
Woodstock markets, where I found buffalo mozzarella and flammekueche (YUM!), the V&A Waterfront
and the District 6 museum.
Five of us also rented a car for the day,
starting off at Groot Constantia for a wine tasting (aside from the poor
[self-]designated driver), followed by lunch in Simon’s Town. A highlight was
definitely seeing the nearby African Penguins at Foxy Beach,
once called
‘Jackass’ penguins because of their donkey-like braying.
Breeding season only
started a couple of months ago and there were many fluffy penguins waddling
around or demanding food from their parents.
We saw dassies looking at the view from
the lighthouse at Cape Point
and ostriches at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa’s
most South-western point,
before heading to Kommetjie for a beer and
then Hout Bay for dinner at the Mariner’s Wharf (I highly recommend the calamari
steak – so tender…)
