Saturday and Sunday March 28/29

On Saturday we went wine tasting all day! We visited three local wineries and spent a good amount of time at each wine farm. It was interesting to see how serious they take wine tasting here in South Africa. I was just there to have fun, but locals seem a bit more serious. After our third wine farm in about 6 hours everyone was pretty "sleepy" so we decided to head back to town and rest up a bit. After we recovered from the day we all gathered at one of our houses for a little pool party day, which turned out to be more of a card playing day. It was pretty chilly out, about 65 degrees, so we did not feel like swimming. After playing cards we went to a pizza/italian restaurant and spent the night enjoying the view and our wonderful food.
On Sunday we took a tour of Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. It was soooooo windy! There are a few pics of me almost falling off of the point that Jeff and I made it up to because the wind was at least 60 mph. We finally saw some wild animals.....Baboons are very annoying. At the Cape of Good Hope they would follow us around and it was a bit uncomfortable because there were no fences to stop them from getting to us. But, we made it so it was enjoyable. After we hiked around a bit we went to Simon's Town to swim with the Penguins. The water was very cold, but I could not pass up the chance to swim in the ocean with wild African Penguins. There were thousands of the little guys and it was quite an enjoyable experience.
