At the end of the world

Yesterday we went on a tour of the Cape Peninsula with our tour guide, Colleen. (Colleen is quite the character; she is in complete control of what we learn on the tours and it is often information about how people have died in a particular place or about how sharks hallucinated in this cape or that this rodent is closely related to elephants or that this house sold for 7 million rand)

We saw penguins! They are just as absurd in person.


We also went to Cape Point, which isn't actually that geographically significant, but it is almost the tip of Africa and feels like the end of the world.

My sunburn has progressed to what I hope will be its final stage: extensive peeling. I am hoping to emerge a butterfly on the other side.
