The old lighthouse at Cape Point
Needing a shorter walk today after very active dreams, we went to Cape Point - getting there early before the torrent of tourists poured in, all wanting their photo taken with "The Most South Westerly Point In Africa" sign.
Blown away at the light house
We had our photo taken by one of a group of Dykes on bikes we met at the top of the lighthouse. She had to snap quickly before we got blown off.
We had parked at Cape Point which gave us a lovely walk along the cliff tops to the funicular railway that took us to the light house. On the way we saw Eland, Blesbok, Baboon, Ostrich, ghetto, cormorants (including one very lame one limping along on road) and some very, very tame dassies.
Winnie had bought along a special treat - some Florentines, which we had with coffee from the Two Oceans restaurant below the lighthouse.
Dassie, which you could almost touch
We are now waiting for the ladies from the Engen service station to clean the bakkie that we borrowed from Roly for the holiday. They are certainly taking their time, even though there is a whole crew of them. The advantage of the iphone is that I can continue with my Blog during interludes like this, and record dramas as they happen. One has just occurred: one of the ladies split her pants climbing into the back of the bakki.
