apr, 21st - boulders beach....


day 438 continued.....

a picnic on Boulders Beach today.....for every family who have ever visited Cape Town, i have urged them to make the drive to Boulders Beach. why? because you can swim and sunbathe with the resident penguins...right there on the rock beside you.



the other big draw is that the water is often slightly warmer here than the rest of Cape Town....growing up around the Indian ocean where we would spend hours 'surfing' the waves....my very first dip in the Atlantic was met with 'Yikes, i can't feel my feet' and lots of yelps until i was safely back on the dry sand.....the water is seriously cold in Cape Town.


but Limi has obviously built up a British constitution over past year as she was obsessed with the sea......we couldn't keep her out long enough to rub her down and bring the feeling back to her legs.




best day......
