At 5 AM on a Monday morning, 13 people left and ventured off into the south to find the notorious Cape Town. We drove all day, encountering both towering mountains and hysterical signs.
We arrived exhausted, but excited to be in Cape Town!
Throughout the week, we had debriefing sessions together to prepare for the upcoming transition back to life in America. I feel as ready as I’ll ever be to go home. We were blessed to be able to visit many of the touristy spots in Cape Town, including…..
…the famous Table Mountain with an incredible view. I hiked to Maclear’s Beacon, the highest point.
…Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned…
….Boulder Beach, where a whole colony of jackass penguins live! (…excuse my French, but that’s their name!)
….and Cape Point, the southern-most point of Africa.
…and experienced some other fun in between.
This story is coming to an end, but the book will continue. I am THANKFUL for all that has been written, but EXCITED for all that is unwritten.
Oh my gosh! This is the most beautiful place ever! I mean, a lot of the pictures of Africa that you have taken previous to this come somewhat close I think, but these pictures are completely amazing! I am sooooo jealous, but happy you get to finish up this trip with such a beautiful place. And around penguins too…that is awesome! You have been gone so long and it is only 3 and some days until you get back!!! I am sorry this has to end, but I look forward to you being back soon.
