Day two of Cape City was April nineteenth which was a tough morning with it being our authentic due date (from the miscarriage earlier than this being pregnant) and in addition my cousin who handed away.. her birthday. I awoke a little bit off so I used to be so completely satisfied to discover extra of Cape City 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 can be a whole vacationer factor to do – and we have been vacationers so we needed to! There’s a payment to enter and there’s a facet with a seashore 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 effectively definitely worth the stroll as you’ll be able to see! Clearly the identify and the quantity of boulders goes hand in hand.
Generally while you do touristy issues like in Italy after I went to the Trevi Fountain, there are swarms of individuals and it simply takes away from the expertise. Particularly when generally it doesn’t look that means in images. I’m not positive if we simply bought fortunate however there was a really small quantity of individuals round and people who have been lounging have been largely there to swim or benefit from the seashore. We didn’t come throughout an enormous crowd or something that took away from the expertise on the seashore facet. So, when you get to the penguins go down the path as a substitute of simply the one cease firstly!
We took all of the images and once more, as you’ll be able to see there are a number of individuals but it surely actually was not unhealthy! Everybody was well mannered and the water was so clear. We most likely ought to have introduced our fits however the water was a little bit chilly simply with the time of 12 months. I’m positive that is fairly busy of their summer time! (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 seemed over the pier on the penguins! Most of them have been right here and once more, unsure on the seasonality of it but it surely had simply the correct quantity of individuals I might say. Calihan cherished that his shirt matched the penguins!
After the penguins there’s a reward store that you just exit out of (I instructed you it’s touristy) and so they 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 objects round. The stroll again to parking which was a little bit little bit of a stroll additionally had road distributors and another retailers. There was additionally some reside music / singing as effectively 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 City!
