Our Final Full Day - Sept 10

This morning we drove along the coastline with the destination of Cape Point which is considered the point farthest south on the continent of Africa. 

Our first stop was Chapman's Peak which was a great overlook of a cliff and crashing waves over Chapman Bay.  We walked up to the overlook which was breathtaking.

From there we drove to Cape Point where we could see both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.  Some walked up to the lighthouse and some took the Funicular (Cable Car) to the top.  All were amazed at the view of the oceans.

Baboons were running wild in the area.  One girl, not in our group, who was eating an apple was attacked by a mother baboon who was carrying her baby.  She was told to throw away her apple.  She did and the baboon immediately grabbed it and ran off.

After Cape Point, we got fish and chips as take away (carry out) and took it to the Penguin Colony to eat.  So we watched the African penguins swim and play.  We also went to Boulders Beach where J.P. and Larry went swimming and many of us waded and looked for shells in the cold water.

Then we started on our drive back, stopping along the way to have coffee and cake to celebrate Jan's birthday.  We also drove through wine country and along the bay for our last African sunset over the water.  It was cold and very windy, but still an awesome view of God's creation.
