So the shark diving got post poned one more day, but that's ok with me with all there is to do around South Africa.
Carla, me, Helen and Mike bumming around the Water Front. We missed the last boat to Robin's Island . . . darn, guess I'll just have to come back now! :)
Unfortunately the fog rolled in at the very top and we lost our view - but still a spectacular hike!
Thanks to the all the on and off again rain these last few days the hike had the added beauty of waterfalls (to walk under) and the added risk of slipping right off the side. Slippery rocks with a straight drop = scary!
The view of Lion's Head Mountain from somewhere up the trail to Table Mountain.
Carla, me, Xavi, Renee and Matt pre-death march up Table Mountain.

Nothing says fun like a day spent outside exploring. I heart Cape Town already!
The southern most tip of the African Continent - although I think the orginal name was much more accurate - Cape of Storms.
Cape Point - where the the light house is still in use for all those who dare to sail around Africa's tip, which is apparently on the increase with the threat of pirates.
The hike from Cape Point to Cape of Good Hopes - stunning!
Who even knew ostriches lived by the beach???
Or baboons???
Helen, Mike and I in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Preserve. The nicest thing about our SAG vehicle is we could just hop in when the down pour started, wait 5 mins and then hop back out again.
My new favorite animal (who knew I have shared interests with seals) - Jackass Penguins!
Chapman's Peak Drive - famous for the Zoom, Zoom commerical that was shot here. I was REALLY missing my motorcycle about now. Ride it for me Sean!
My rockin' hostel - Ashanti Lodge. Note Table Mountain in the background - it only took me three hours and whole lot of cursing to make the hike to the top!
