And another visitor from Canada
A week after Mackenzie was here, another friend of mine, Yvette Zandbergen, came over. I know Yvette from our days many many years ago at Lambton College, where we studied Radio, Television and Journalism Arts. Neither one of us is remotely involved in those occupations and have come a very long way from those days.
Yvette is a very adventurous travellor and jumped at the chance to come over and see what South Africa had to offer. I can't find the pictures I have now, but when I do, I will add them. Yvette also did a safari in Kruger, and we also spent a weekend in Cape Town. Being winter, the weather in Cape Town didn't cooperate for us and unfortunately, tow major attractions were cancelled...Shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai and the ferry ride over to Robben Island (Nelson Mandela and several other apartheid prisoners were kept here for many years, and it was also a leper colony at one time). But we did manage to get down to Simon's Town...home of dozens of South African penguins. These are wild penguins who just hang out on the rocks at Bolder's Beach. Very cool!
