Peninsula Tour

On last Sunday (1/30) UCT took all of the international students on an all day peninsula tour. We arrived on campus in the morning and got on large coach busses. These busses were way nicer than any coach bus I have been on in the US. They had large leather seats and they could extend back really far. The busses all had two entrances and also had coffee makers on them. On the ride we saw a lot of cool animals including baboons!

The first main stop we took was at Boulders Beach which is known for its penguin population. We weren’t able to actually walk on the beach, but there was a wooden platform that we could all walk around on to see the penguins. Since penguins are my favorite kind of animal, I really loved being there. However, I was kind of upset that we didn’t get to play with them – even though I heard they bite. 

Once we were done viewing the penguins a few of us went to go get frozen coffee. Before walking back to the busses to leave Boulders Beach, I ran into Angela Groves who was in the same class as me at HB! It was really nice to see a familiar face from Cleveland. We were able to catch up a bit on our lives when we hiked at Cape Point. The first picture is from Boulders Beach and the second is from Cape Point.

When we arrived at Cape Point we were able to hike up to a lighthouse and look out at the amazing view! It was so amazing. We also hiked down and around Cape Point which was really fun. We spent about 2 hours exploring here before heading back home.
