Checking out the Cape of Good Hope!

 We set off early morning to check out the Botanical Kirstenbosch Gardens en route to the Cape of Good Hope........

There was a cute owl looking after her young ones in the trees........

Another stop en route was in Simon's town... for lunch and to check out the penguin colony.......

Then on to the Cape......

Beautiful views from the top......

...and we got to see some ostriches.....

...on the way back ....... he was quite happy stopping traffic while keeping an eye on the family!

Next morning we checked out a few downtown areas of Cape Town.......

...and visited an area, District 6, which had been totally forced to move during apartheid......

We also checked out some of the government buildings .......

... and lunch on the front was great.....
