Terror Two

Our second driving adventure lasted for 9 hours. We skipped Cape Town itself and drove down the Cape Peninsula that forms the far side of the bay. We actually went down the far side of that peninsula which is on False Bay, a part of the Cape of Good Hope. Our goal was to get to the tip of the peninsula, a place called Cape Point that we thought was the very bottom of Africa but later learned it is not. On the way we passed many colorful seaside towns with little narrow streets that caused our driver to stay way to the left of center (at least that is my interpretation because I was on the left and in fear of being scraped off by vehicles on my left). We stopped at The Boulders, a place just below Simonstown where there is a large colony of African penguins. Their former name was Jackass Penguins because of the braying sound they make. By the way, those are penguins in the background of Bill's before-haircut photo. In the photo with a few penguins only, the large fluffy one is a baby, or "blue". We learned yesterday that our street, Pikkewyn Road, is the Africaans word for penguin.,
