Cape Point, Penguins, & Knysna
This is mostly a picture post. Last post for today as my battery is almost dead. I will put up three more posts tomorrow! People have been asking for more pictures so I'm putting up a lot more!
We went to the Southern-most
tip of Africa: the Cape Point. In addition, this area is also where the
Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean meet. We drove up on the mountains for about an
hour to get there. After we got to the official area, we got out and had a half
hour walk up to the scenic view. It was absolutely stunning! Below are some
pictures of what I saw. The experience is a little surreal. I couldn’t believe
that I was at such a beautiful place. It reminded me how privileged I am to be
able to travel and have these experiences.
We also went to a Penguin colony briefly. I saw lots of penguins! Unfortunately for me and fortunately for the penguins, visitors aren’t allowed to go past the fence and into the beach where the penguins are.
After the Cape Town trip, we had a two night stay in a beautiful little sea city called Knysna. We went canoeing and there were some gorgeous sights. I have never been canoeing before so I am very glad that I went with my friend Andrew (he's an expert and has gone on a 35 day trip to the Arctic)- another group tipped into the cold water but thankfully my first canoeing experience didn't involve a swim! We went picture crazy in the area! =]
Of all the photos, I like the Cape Point ones the best! You should have considered the marriage proposal seriously - would have been an "international match." Born Sri Lankan, became an American, and married an African!
