Cape Point, South Africa

Well, having made it to the southern tip of the South American continent in 2008, (Close, Ushuaia was our furthest point south), Heather and I reached Cape Point in South Africa. Again, not the southern most point of the continent, that would be Cape Agulhas further east. We were just two of many, many tourists visiting on a terrific cape summer's day. We did manage to find a more secluded rocky picnic spot for a siesta. Since a large portion of the peninsula is now a national park, we encountered ostrich and bontebok close to the rocky Atlantic shores.
