Penguins, Monkeys, and Cheetahs...Oh my!

I got to play with Lemurs at Monkey Town! They are the laziest of the primate family...and I love them. They are great jumpers too. Usually they lie around on their backs though.
Opps...I guess that is why I now missing a leg. Just kidding! There are cheetahs at Spier Winery were we went wine tasting. It was 10 Rand to see the cheetahs and another 10 Rand to taste wine. What a deal! That is $2 US total.
Monkey Town- "Where humans are caged and monkeys run free." This the best 30 Rand ($3) I have ever spent in my life! I got to play with Squirel Monkeys and Lemurs.
The food court at Canal Walk, South Africa's largest mall. Talk about over-stimulation! I sersiously thought I was in Times Square...not Africa.
African Penguins at Boulder's Beach. Yep, there are native penguins here in South Africa!
Haha. If you are wondering if I rode in this flaming red and white 1977 VW Beetle, the answer is: Oh yeah! My friend Nanna from Norway rented this bug, and we definitely drove it to both the beach and the mall. We got many funny stares. We named the bug "Bernita."
These are the stairs up to Cape Point, near the Cape of Good Hope. The currents of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet here. The water is beautiful.


Hope you enjoy these pictures!! I am sorry I have been so slow to update my blog. More pictures and stories to come soon!

Love,
Nicole
