The whole reason we extended the trip and added Cape Town to the itinerary is because I found out there were penguins. I have seen them at the Camden aquarium in NJ but getting to see them out in the wild was what I wanted.
We set out one of the morning for Simon's town where a large colony of penguins live. However once we got their the skies opened up making the experience a very wet one.
Even the penguins did not look happy.
After a moment in the rain viewing 2 little penguins, getting totally soaked, we packed it in. This was not exactly the experience I was looking for but you can not help Mother Nature.
We continued onward to Cape Point which is the tip of the peninsula. I imagine on a nicer day the views would be spectacular. There were plenty of great spots to stop and take in the view and lots of trails to hike neither we could do.
Rain and lot of it. So we did the next best thing, lunch at Two Oceans Restaurant. It was the perfect spot to dry off, enjoy a bottle of wine, and great seafood.
At one point the sun appeared for a moment giving us a nice view of False Bay.
