South Africa - A few photos

 

I am just beginning the editing process on my photos from our just completed South Africa-Swaziland trip for my site www.CrazyAboutTravel.com  I thought that I would share a few with you here on my blog as I am reviewing the pictures.

09-05 SAfrica-THM-0073.jpg This is the Victoria & Albert Waterfront in Capetown.  It is a spectacular place where both locals and travelers gather for shopping and great restaurants.  It is the place to catch the boat to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.  Many South African adventures begin here.  This spot also offers wonderful panoramic views of Table Mountain.

 

 

09-05 SAfrica-THM-0151.jpg   09-05 SAfrica-THM-0152.jpg This is Cape Point and the famous Cape of Good Hope.  The lighthouse sits on a promontory high over the cape.  It has not been in operation since 1919, but is a great spot to take photos.  The Cape of Good Hope is the farthest southwestern point in  Africa.

09-05 SAfrcia-THM-0252.jpg The eland is the largest member of the antelope family.  This one is roaming wild in Table Mountain National Park.  Cape Point is also located in this area.

09-05 SAfrcia-THM-0300.jpg We saw many penguin chicks like this one at Boulder's Beach which is near Cape Town.

09-05 SAfrcia-THM-0222.jpg One day of our visit to South Africa was spent tasting the wine of the Winelands which includes Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Parl.  The photo on the left was taken at one of the Cape Dutch buildings of the Velelegen Winery.  Our wine expert guide was Keith D'Arvall who I  highly recommend.
