Day two of Cape Town was April nineteenth which was a tough morning with it being our unique due date (from the miscarriage earlier than this being pregnant) and in addition my cousin who handed away.. her birthday. I awoke just a little off so I used to be so joyful to discover extra of Cape Town and see some penguins! The drive to the penguins was largely all scenic views of the shoreline. We initially stopped for a breakfast at a cute restaurant the place I had one thing fully new – truffle mushroom on a toast. Sounds fascinating however scrumptious! Then we headed off to see the penguins.
This is a complete vacationer factor to do – and we had been vacationers so we needed to! There is a price to enter and there’s a facet with a seaside and a path that you just stroll alongside, after which additionally a facet that walks you proper right down to the place the penguins are. We walked the path first and it was properly definitely worth the stroll as you may see! Clearly the identify and the quantity of boulders goes hand in hand.
Sometimes while you do touristy issues like in Italy once I went to the Trevi Fountain, there are swarms of individuals and it simply takes away from the expertise. Especially when typically it doesn’t look that method in photographs. I’m not positive if we simply acquired fortunate however there was a really small quantity of individuals round and people who had been lounging had been largely there to swim or benefit from the seaside. We didn’t come throughout an enormous crowd or something that took away from the expertise on the seaside facet. So, in case you get to the penguins go down the path as an alternative of simply the one cease at first!
We took all of the photographs and once more, as you may see there are a number of individuals but it surely actually was not dangerous! Everyone was well mannered and the water was so clear. We most likely ought to have introduced our fits however the water was just a little chilly simply with the time of 12 months. I’m positive that is fairly busy of their summer season! (Seasons are reverse so heading into their winter right here).
We then walked again to the opposite facet of the trail the place the primary entrance was and appeared over the pier on the penguins! Most of them had been right here and once more, unsure on the seasonality of it but it surely had simply the correct quantity of individuals I’d say. Calihan beloved that his shirt matched the penguins!
After the penguins there’s a reward store that you just exit out of (I informed you it’s touristy) they usually have all types of souvenirs in case you are ! I do like when the reward retailers are on the finish so that you aren’t carrying gadgets round. The stroll again to parking which was just a little little bit of a stroll additionally had avenue distributors and another retailers. There was additionally some reside music / singing as properly for a full expertise.
Our day two ended with seeing household for an enormous dinner! We flew out the next morning so one other fast journey, however I felt completed lastly making it to Cape Town!
