Wild Kingdom

We made it to South Africa on Saturday!  There's lots to share, but internet and cell service is spotty so I'll probably be a little slow to post. Our first stop was Cape Town, Cape Point Pennisuls, and surrounding wine region on Easter Sunday. Already we are amazed at the beauty of this country. Can't wait to sort through photos and share!
 
For now, check out this wildlife. We won't see Africa's "Famous Big Five" until we're on safari next week, but while sightseeing we've already encountered plenty of wild animals on the paths and roadways, some practically right in the city!

Baboons!



Definitely not going to feed these strange looking baboons:


Ostrich!



African Penguins!  Hard to believe we're closer to Antarctica than Amsterdam right now.  These little guys are wild and for some reason like warm weather; they're unique to Africa.
