The Western Cape

The Western Cape reminded me a lot of San Fransico, the fog, the ocean, the penguins?!

Who would have thought these guys would be here! The African penguin also known as the Black-footed penguin are found on the southwestern coast of Africa. Two colonies were established by penguins in the 1980s on the mainland near Cape Town at Boulders Beach near Simon's Town and Stony Point in Betty's Bay. They can be found on Robben Island too.

Table Mountain can also be found on the Western Cape in Cape Town. We were lucky enough to get to the top of the mountain on a gorgeous sunny morning, as we headed back down the fog was setting in. A rotating cable car took us to the top, you can hike it as well, but we didn't have enough time.

Here is a photo with Table Mountain in the background, I am on Robben Island.
