okay- so we owe everyone lots of info and there is so much to share and it was so amazing, I need to slow down to give the experience justice. I the mean time, Ill tell you about today. Cape Town is fantastic! It's like San Diego on steroids. It's about double the population and...I hate to say this, but it is, at least, twice as beautiful. It's stunning! We started our day with a trip up to Table Mountain, which was more fantastic than I thought it would be. Incredible views of the town.

You access Table Mountain, via cable car. Each one holds about 65 people and as you are going up, the floor of the cable car rotates, so that everyone gets a good view.

We left table mountain and hired a car/driver to take us around the other popular Cape Town destinations. Our driver was Justice and he was great! He was very funny and very passionate about South Africa. And...he LOVES Obama.

So, the first spot Justice took us to was to see the penguins in Simon's Town. Most penguins you find are in Antarctica, but for some reason, these guys prefer South Africa.

They were very cute

Then, we arrived on to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point...the farthest ends of Africa...the place where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.

We were walking around, when a group of about 25 Germans wanted us to take pictures of them. Each one of them handed us their cameras. Eddie, Justice and I were all grabbing cameras and taking pictures. They had been drinking champagne on the coast and were a little toasty and hilarious! Once they were finished, I handed our camera to Justice to take a picture of Eddie and me. We walked over to the point and when I turned around, all of the Germans were taking pictures of us!

We left there and Justice drove us around beautiful Haut Bay and Camp's Bay and gave us a lot of info on the history of South Africa.

The next day, we had a wine tour scheduled. Mervin picked us up and, again, was a wealth of knowledge on South Africa. He took us to our first winery, which was beautiful. It's funny how it looks so similar to California wine country, but so different at the same time. We had a private tasting paired with cheese. The tasting consisted of EIGHT wines and these were not small pours! We left there and went to an amazing lunch in the Franschoek region and it was delicious! We were able to hit one more winery and then we headed back to the hotel and had a great conversation with Melvin on the way. We had a nice dinner that night and left the next morning for the bush!
