Day 3 In and around Cape Town, South Africa

Portswood Hotel. We had a wonderful breakfast at the hotel. We were curious about the hotel. Turns out it used to be a prison and 15 years ago they turned it into a hotel. The old water well is in the center of the lobby.


We went on a tour of the Cape of Good Hope, heading down the west side and coming back on the east. The first stop was at Chapman Peak. View in background is Hout Bay.


On the way to Cape Point we saw ostriches and a family of baboons. I rode the funicular to the base of the Cape Point light and Phil walked up.

Next stop was in Simonstown to see the nesting African Penguins, formerly known as Jackass penguins because of their bray.


Lunch back across the street from our hotel where we tried find a better transformer for my bone growth machine, but went in a circle and got only an adapter for South Africa which is different from all others I have. We grabbed fantastic falafels at the mall before continuing on our excursion to Stellenbosch wine country and two wine tastings.

The first was at a little winery, Anura, which means frog. The wine was excellent and they have a deal when you can have it sent from their US distributer without paying the shipping. We got a case!
