Cape Point

I'm at Minna and Heikki's work so I can be online. The internet at home is a bit unreliable and we haven't had much luck with it in recent days.

On Sunday we all ventured to Cape Point and The Cape of Good Hope. It is a bit of a drive down, but on the way we stopped and saw 8 whales swimming as we looked down on the beach from the cliff-side road. As we carried on our journey we stopped briefly in Simon's Town to visit the penguins there, and to have lunch at the Tibetan Tea House.

Once inside the National Park that encompasses the land around Cape Point, we saw a lot of wildlife - baboons, an ostrich on the beach, a sleeping cobra snake, and a two species of antelope.

We drove down to the Point, where Minna and Milja dashed inside to get warm, while us men (apart from Matias who was at Joona's) and India climbed up to the lighthouse. There was an amazing view to the left to False Bay and the city, and to the right, the Atlantic Ocean dotted by large ships.
