there's the coolest little beach about an hours drive outside cape town that's littered with giant bolders (good for scrambling over or swimming under) and is home to a colony of adorably untimid penguins.

we dropped by one evening for a swim as the tide was full in and the penguins began wandering about to settle down for the night. they had no fear of waddling and swimming amongst us to the point that you nearly started to forget they were there.

i've been stalling on posting any photos of them because i took absolutely millions and i wanted to go through them all and pick out the one or two that i liked best. and it's taken until now to do that.
