On my way back to White River now, after a brill week in Cape Town. Table mountain was really good, and yesterday we went to the tip of the Cape - as far south as you could get, where the Altlantic meets the Indian Oceans.
We went to a baboon sanctuary, and when we parked up, and opened the door a baboon jumped in and sat down! They are pretty big close up. I shieldied Sharon and tried to hit it with a water bottle, while it snarled at me. Teeth or what! It then jumped in the front seat, and I did manage to swipe it one and it jumped out and ran away. You don't get that in Harrogate.
A bit later on I bought two small pizzas in the cafe, put one down for the briefest of moments and it got taken by a baboon. I chased it round the cafe, and it eventually dropped the box, but there were only about 3 pieces left.
We also visited a penguin park, and I watched a man try and take an up close picture of a penguin from about an inch away, and was surprised when it viciously pecked the camera and broke the lens! Who was the more stupid?
We went out last night, and didn't get back in till after 2:00, and was up at 8 for a trip to a theme park. The last ride I went on was the log flume, so flew back to Johannesburg with wet clothes. Am on the bus now for the 4 hour journey back to White River.
I might be going to Swaziland next week. Watch this space.
