Today our family decided to go to the cape of good hope. We drove one hour south. The cape of good hope is the most southwestern point of Africa. The waves there was very high but in the winter they will be much higher. On our way back we stayed in Simon's Town for lunch. In Simon's Town you can watch penguins and so we did. First they just stood on the beach. Then a big wave came and some of them fell and went out in the water. Then they surfed on the next wave to get back to the beach again. It looked very funny. We even saw some penguins with eggs.

 

In the afternoon the children stayed at the hotel while my parents went on a bus sightseeing tour. According to them there was nothing to see that we havn't seen before so i'm glad I stayed home.

 

This evening everybody felt well and we went out at a nice restaurant. Me and my father shared a seafood platter with lobster, prawns, calamari, mussels and some fish. It was delicious. This is our last evening in South Africa. We stayed up late playing "plump".
