South African wonders

When I toured the Cape of Good Hope on my trip around the world, I believed it was the southern tip of Africa, and the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Which made it a pretty special place to visit!

I later found out that Cape Agulhas, 90 miles to the east-southeast, holds that distinction, not the Cape of Good Hope. Oh well. It was still spectacular.

A little way up the coast is Boulders Beach, the home of a colony of African Penguins. Although visitors aren’t allowed to walk on the beach, there are boardwalks that take you up close and personal to these incredible creatures.

And there’s nothing like watching the sun rise over Table Mountain, as your ship sails into the port of Cape Town.

We’d love to see your pictures of spectacular places like this – have any to share? Don’t forget, all submissions qualify for our Canon PowerShot camera giveaway!
