South Africa: Parts 3, 4, and 5

We are leaving today and there are so many things to say...I think I will write so much more when I'm home and have had a 30 hour travel day to digest some of the powerful things I have seen and heard here. Until then, here are some pictures of our safari, our adventure through the garden route, sunset along False Bay, Cape Point, and The Cape of Good Hope...

ps there will be some exciting stories that I add to this post once I'm home (i.e. getting chaced by an elephant etc.)

Along the Garden Route at Wilderness









Safari at the Garden Route Game Lodge











































This was our tour guide...no I'm not joking. We paid very close attention...he knew everything about everything.























Sunset along False Bay and a look at some more penguins at Betty's Bay

This pic reminded me of my 3 :o)




















Our last chance to see The Point looked grim, but the clouds burned up just for us :o)

    I had NO idea you were going to Africa! How awesome for you!!! Africa is close to my heart because my mom was born there and my g.parents were missionaries there for many years. Your pictures are amazing. I would love to hear some of your stories sometime...especially the one of you being chased by an elephant. ;) Safe travels and thanks for sharing some of God's amazing work seen through your eyes. Love to you...

    Wow - you covered a lot of ground in such a short time! I'm so pleased that you seemed to have had a great time. Now you understand why I tell everyone I meet in USA that my old home of Cape Town is one of the hidden gems of the world!
