Cape Point

Cape Point or the Cape Of Good Hope is supposed to be the place where two oceans meet - the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans. It is said that if you swim in the waters on one side of the point, the waters are cold, and on the other side, even colder.
We drove quite a way along a windy road then parked about two thirds of the way up the peak. The rest of the journey had to done on foot, or in Sophie's case, on back, Daddy's back!



This was the road we drove along.



Almost at the top.



Keep going, Daddy!



The pointed-most part of the point. You can't walk all the way down there. The funny thing was, there was a signpost at the peak which gave the distances to various places from Cape Point, and it was nearer to the South Pole than to Singapore!



Tourists were lining up to take a picture with this signboard. At first we didn't want to take a picture there and do what everyone else does, then in the end we subcummed to 'tourist-ism'.
