We visit the Cape of Good Hope

Great views. I can understand the southernmost point. Also the
westernmost point. I'm still trying to imagine the geometry of the
"south-westernmost point.". But, then, there we were...

Our chariot

From right to left:

It had executive seats.
We could drink.
We could pee (and worse).
It snowed inside.
It got REALLY exciting when we cornered.

OK, just one more penguin pic...

I hadn't noticed how good it was.

Photo: ok, enough with the penguins, already!

Photo: even more penguins

More penguins

Peeeennnnnnguinnnns!

Peguins! Penguins!

Penguins!

After lions, zebras, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests,
haartebeests, whales, a seal, various antelopes, ostriches, baboons,
green vervet monkeys, and all manner of flying birds, penguins.

A couple of our group were scarily (well almost) into penguins. We had
our peak penguin experience.

Photo: it helps to know where they hang out...
