Let me take a look and taste of that Boa and see if I
want to eat it now.

These cheetahs kept me so fascinated.  They were fabulous to watch!

 Does not
even look at us in the car he is crossing street!!!

 
Looks like a statue!



 Oh
 
Do not quit eating just because we are here.

The real king of the jungle  See the corner of our vehicle.
We are really close.

 
Coming to see us if we don't go.  He is flapping his ears
and scrapping the ground with his foot.

 
Almost never see wild dogs.  These two young ones
lost their pack.  They were crying out.  They finally
found the pack about 3 days later.

 

See the babies -  even they are cute.
 
 
He is awesome.  Now I have seen Big 5 again.

 
Notice birds cleaning his back.
 
Will send more animals!!! Enjoy!
 
 

Cape Coast and more


This is the way we walked to the top of the point!!  We only
took one picture break and one viewing break.
 
 
But the view was worth it.  It was so beautiful.  I loved being cool
even after I walked so far.  South Africa is a beautiful country.

 



Robin and I giving you lots of information on the Cape of Good Hope.

Birds Birds and More Birds


 
Can you imagine the original people getting to sail into this harbor. 
 
 

More Cape Town in the Gardens and beyond

 
Gardens
 
 
Robin showing off a plant but look at that view.  By the way Robin I wore that shirt this weekend.  Thanks for a great trip and your generosity!!
 


The penguins were everywhere.  We stood on a boardwalk overlooking the ocean and the penguins were everywhere!!  Not as much noise as I expected.

 
They are so cute walking around and there is no ice to be seen!!

 
The ocean was beautiful but it was cold.  Yes I had to stick my feet in.

 
On our drive to the point we saw baboons.  This one was ruling over the area.
 
 
Everyone needs help sometimes and that itch was to much.  They were so cute.  There were so many along the roadway.
 



 
Made it to the point but jacket was on and wind was up.  Can you see the light house WAY... up there well we got to the top!!!

Cape Town South Africa

After I was picked up at the airport in Cape Town South Africa I was wisked away in a brand new M-Benz.  I was taken to this beatuiful hotel called Mannabay.  The view was unbelievable - grounds were so charming -plus service, food was 5 maybe 6 star!!!
 
 
 
 
Here is the view from Table Top Mt.  We rode the cable car up and could see all of Cape Town's harbor.


                                                 Another view of Cape Town from Table Top
                                                         Mt.  Weather was wonderful.


                                           Found this guy at the harbor.  Made completely of
                                            Coke crates, with his World Cup metals. 

 
Here we are at prison where Mendala was released.  Linda
do you recognize my pants?  Ha!!!

 
View from the Winery Asara. 

 
Yet another winery!! It was so much fun got to even taste cheese.  Bought some apricot cheese which you will see when I show you the Zebras.



More to come.  I was so in heaven with the greenry and the beautiful flowers I did not want to leave.  This is not the Africa I know.  Very friendly and caring people but the infrastructure, tourist plans and living arrangements not what I see in Ghana.  This is combo San Francisco/San Diego.
