Today you will relive the days of the discoverers and of the colonial conquests and you will spend the day on the Cape of Good Hope, which you have heard about in school. In 1488 the Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias landed on the Cape and called it the Cape of Storms, because he had survived a terrible storm that nearly cost him and his crew their lives. Portuguese King João II, having great expectations for a new Eastern sea route, renamed it the Cape of Good Hope. Here tourists often look forward to seeing large families of baboons. These animals are very cute, but be careful not to feed them, for you might get hurt when they fight for their food. After passing the entrance gate your bus will follow a level road and then drive down to the famous promontory. Here you can make a souvenir photo against a panel that has the coordinates of the Cape of Good Hope. Then you can climb to the highest point of the Cape Peninsula, where you will enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the ocean and the bay. We now say goodbye to the Cape and we are on our way back. The road runs along the coast of False Bay and goes through the small town of Simon’s Town, near which is the largest South African naval base and Boulders Beach are situated. On that beach you will meet the famous Cape penguins. These wonderful animals chose this beach once long ago for hatching their offspring and they live there year-round, delighting local and foreign tourists. You will stop for lunch at a restaurant well known for its seafood recipes. Return to the hotel around 17h00.
