Day in Cape of Good Hope!

Today was an extremely busy day for all of us, but we had an amazing day! We started off the day by going to a township. I am going to talk further about that township tomorrow, because tomorrow we will be visiting 3 more. But the experience in the township today was extremely impactful on everyone. 

After the township tour we went to Huot Bay and explored the market there! It was really neat experience to see a working a fish market and see all of the different vendors. The weather was cloudy but we still got to see the amazing view of the mountains and the ocean! 

After our visit to the bay and market we went to an Ostrich Farm!!! There were so many ostriches all over the farm, and it was really cool to see a South African farm. We also got to feed the ostriches which was really cool!!!!! We all had so much fun!!! 

After the farm we went to the Cape of Good Hope, which although it was raining and windy was still beautiful!! We hiked up to the light house at the top of the point and got an incredibly stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains of the cape! 

After climbing to the top of the light house we went to the bottom of Cape of Good Hope, or the most southern point of the African Continent!! The view of the beach and cliffs was amazing. Although it was incredibly windy, we could even see the spot where the Atlantic and Indian Ocean met!! 

We then went to Boulder Beach, home to the African penguins!!! Although it was rainy and cloudy we walked down the path to the beach and saw some South African penguins in the wild!! It was really amazing to see, and we all loved watching them waddle!! 

Over all a really amazing day in the Cape of Good Hope, and we all got a sense of how beautiful this country is!!
