I went on from Johannesburg to sepdn some time with my friend and business partner, Ken Tiven who lives in beautiful Hout Bay, right around the corner from Cape Town
But before I leave Johannesburg.... Calamari appatizer, fish and chips and a draft Amstel <$9 yum, yum
Room and bathroom at the Tarragona Lodge where I stayed while in Hout Bay. Gorgeous, with friendly people.
Views from the balcony.
"Common" areas in the lodge.
Mr. Tiven and his Mini "S" holding yet another dead cell phone.
We drove out to Hermanus, a site internationally known for watching whales. The bay is a marine reserve.
We took a littel boat tour and found two southern right whales... one male, one female. The boat was small and we were able to drift fairly close to them for about half an hour. I will post a short movie clip later.
Great sunset on a very calm ocean... made the water seem viscous.
A small winery outside of Hout Bay...
The next day I decided to try and drive to the Cape of Good Hope before my plane left. It really wound up only being an hour or so south of Hout Bay.
Simons Town. Strong resemblance to California.
Working my way down the penninsula to the park...
I wonder if by food they mean me?
At Cape Point looking back at the Cape of Good Hope. You learn about it is school, but it was kind of surreal to be there, esp as isolated as it is...
I call this picture "The last ostrich in Africa"
It is only fitting that I end the trip at the end of a continent...
