Day 3 (continued)

Then it was on to Cape Point, where we climbed to the lighthouse and took our time at the tide pools. We also saw our first monkey of the trip.

Days 1 - 2

We left Philadelphia on August 23 and arrived in Cape Town on the 24th. We started our trip by walking in and around the shops in Capetown and then took a cable car up to the top of Table Mountain.

Sorted

Things go well. I spent yesterday on foot, tracking a pack of babboons across Zulu country. In fact, I've been on foot quite a bit in the last week, hiking around in the Drakensberg. The place is truly spectacular, with 1000 meter cliffs to stumble off if you miss a step, deep sandstone gorges...

Straight off the streets of CPT

I headed up to the rocklands for a couple days to check out some world-class bouldering, and possibly get eaten by a leopard. The place is pretty cool, loads of rock for miles in any direction, with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom living in between. I got on some fun problems, but I kept...

No worries

The luggage made it. Everything is back to being too easy. Made it out bouldering today up at Table mountain. It was cool. I'm starting to run out of Cape Town things to do though. I think I may rent a car and head up to the rocklands for a while.

So I made it to South Africa in one piece. Too bad my bag didn't. No worries, the airline says they'll let me know as soon as it turns up somewhere. So yeah, I've already written it off, but I'll humor them for a couple days before I replace all my stuff. And by all my stuff, I mean ALL my...
