A day with Mark and Kathy

On Thursday we had a great day with our hosts Mark and Kathy.  We took a drive out to Cape Point which took us back over Chapman's Peak which we had cycled on Tuesday. 




Near Cape Point we saw some baboons along the side of the road.  From what we hear, these guys can be pretty smart and mean.  People have been attacked by them as they know that backpacks contain food and they will take your pack.  This troup was hanging out right on the side of the road

Love this guy!

Penguins at Boulders Beach

These little African Penguins were fun to watch. 






Elephant's Eye

During our drive, there were so many visitors at Cape Point that we decided not to wait in line for over an hour to get in to the park and to go and take a hike instead.  Mark and Kathy had heard of a hike called Elephant's Eye but weren't quite sure where it was.  We looked it up on the trusty iphone and off we went!  It was a beautiful hike up to the cave where we had a great view of all of Cape Town.

Our day ended with a great dinner in downtown Cape Town at Primi Piatti.  It was a fabulous day!
