The following day we set out quite early as we will be going somewhere further out of Cape Town - Cape of Good Hope.
On the way there, we passed-by Simons Town, a lay-back but beautiful town. Blessed with a beautiful beach, whales & penguins, it is a hot tourist spot. First we went to a gem/mineral shop which have a huge variety of gems stones. At its front garden there is a area with tons of gems stones lying on the ground and the customers can purchase packets to pick the ge
ms stones. The lower floor of the shop is where they show case many types of their gems product. The upper floor is a place where customers can watch the production/polishing process.
We wanted to view penguins but overshot. Just when we thought of turning back, we saw many people stopping at the road side watching whales. There were actually 2 small whales in the sea but none of it did the "free-willy" jump out of the water...haha...but at least it sprouted some water into the air. Cool! We then decided to go see penguins when we return from Cape of Good Hope. It's sure a tiring drive to Cape of Good Hope as it was mostly driving around mountains. It's such relief when we reached our destination and the beautiful environment simply took our fatigue away. 
Returning to Simons Town, we went to see the African Penguins. I had always thought that Penguins only exist in Antartica! They were so cute and innocent looking that you will feel like taking one away! haha...
"Why this guy kept taking photos of me..?"
"Hey, stop taking photos of me NOW!"
"Oi! I say STOP!!! I'm no alien!"
"Hmph..."
