Cape Peninsula NP: Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope
Posted by daveb on October 8th, 2008
A little way south of Cape Town is the Cape Peninsula National Park, home to the famous Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. The latter is often misquoted as being the southernmost point in Africa and where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Both statements are untrue.
As most of you know, I’m really into my views and vistas (all except the Microsoft kind, of course). The lookout from the Cape Point lighthouse surely must be one of the most beautiful views on the planet: Rugged cliffs reveal white sandy beaches in the foreground, with distant misty mountains and endless the blue ocean everywhere else. It’s quite unimaginably, jaw-droppingly beautiful here. Please go yourself and see what I mean.
Back down at the tourist cafe, we had a lot of fun photographing a cheeky baboon who had momentarily sneaked past the slingshot-wealding wildlife police to smash and grab from the bins and steal foodstuffs from unsuspecting tourist hands, before being pelted-back into the bush by humanity.
