Day 2: At the “Edge of the World”…
Venturing along the stunning Cape Peninsula, stop for coffee and poke around at Simon’s Town on False Bay, salty from centuries of service as a naval base. Hop into a sea kayak and paddle along Boulders Beach, waving hello to the rare African penguins residing here. Passing through the nature reserve at the Cape of Good Hope, a farmhouse lunch fortifies you for a walk to the very tip of the peninsula – and of Africa itself – Cape Point, known popularly as the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Smell the protea, cyads, pincushions and other gorgeous Cape flora… ascend to the lookout point and gaze back – you’re at the edge of the world! Learn some Afrikaans and Xhosa, and relax and savor the day at a traditional braai barbecue… aahh…
