These are such amazing specimens of this flower. Beautiful pics...

Excellent article and photos. I was on an official tour of South Africa when I visited Cape Town. Unfortunately Cape Point wasn't on the itinerary. Maybe I will get the opportunity to return and visit this interesting and picturesque location!

Hi Marilyn, thanks for your comment. It really works out well as a day trip. Very recommended for your next visit to Cape Town.

I agree, excellent article and photos. I lived in Cape Town in the early 1980s, and there were no penguins at Boulders until 1982. One other good place to see them is Betty's Bay, which is the other side of False Bay, on the coast road to the whale watching town of Hermanus.

A day trip from Cape Town, South Africa proved a highlight of DrFumblefinger's trip, with great views, and penguins too!

One of the things I most remember about driving about in South Africa were all the protea.  Flowering bushes everywhere!  And, of course, great floral displays of this interesting African plant in shops and hotels.  

There are many day trips you can take from Cape Town, one of the of the best being a drive down the  Cape Point Peninsula to it’s tip. The day will provide you with beautiful scenery.
