In Africa 2010: Penguins and Beaches.

The reality of how poor some people are in South Africa is everywhere you go... but there is also beauty everywhere you go as well. Many people have a negative outlook on South Africa... well Africa in general, and through some of my postings I'd like to change that outlook - even if it is just a few people. South Africa is a place that I would recommend to anyone to come and visit; just don't expect to have a week of vacation here, plan on making a month out of it. Trust me, you will want to make a month out of it after you sit on a plane for almost 24 hours.

The following pictures are from Boulder Beach where penguins reside and also from Cape of Good Hope/Cape Point. Enjoy. :)

The first picture here is the lighthouse at Cape of Good Hope.
The second is come of the coast by Cape of Good Hope.
The third picture was taken closer to where the penguins where. These boys perform on the street as entertainment and as a form of making money... They were actually very talented.

1) Granted this picture is of just a mouse, this mouse is still part of South Africa's wildlife. I am trying to get as many pictures of any wildlife I can. Striped-mouse is the species. Birds here are too fast to get a picture of... more animal pictures to come! :)
2) Baboons are mean, take these signs seriously. I am honestly trying to get a picture of baboons but a) I can't get my camera out fast enough before they run off and b) Ive been in a moving car. Neither option allows for quality picture taking... and I am not going to get close enough for one of them to STEAL my camera, as that would be the demise of my blog.
3) More coast at Cape of Good Hope/Cape Point

1) Lighthouse from further away
2) Coast by Cape Point/Cape of Good Hope
3) Coast closer to penguins... also was a good swimming spot! :)
