Welcome to South Africa

Spent our first full day in South Africa today, hoping that my luggage would catch up with us.  Went on a tour of the Cape peninsula with Michael Snowball (Snowy) - an old friend of Bem's from his time at the University of Cape Town back in 2010.  On the way out of Cape Town we sighted the zebra on the slopes of Table Mountain, a relatively rare sighting

Arriving at Cape Point, the south-westerly most point in Africa, the weather was a bit windy and rainy

And we were warned to beware of the baboons

It took us extra time to the top of the point, as we were a bit apprehensive about getting too close to a mother with her baby

At least it was comforting to know that the baboons were good conservationists 

After Cape Point, it was off to Simon's Town to check out the colony of African penguins

And finally, back to Cape Town, for a visit with Ben's old roommate and entrepreneur extraordinaire - Moses, at the University of Cape Town
