GR day 3

Got up and saw a full tire instead of a flat one. That was a relief. We went to see the penguins:
There were also rock hyraxes:
This site was also used by early Khoisan people as a snacking point, piling up abalone shells:


Then we drove to the Stellenbosch winery region, sampling wines in two places and having lunch at the second. 

There was a trash fire or something nearby:

And we were still beset on all sides by gorgeous scenery:

We made a big push to get to the Cape of Good Hope before it got too late. There was a ton of traffic, but we arrived to a foggy west coast. 
There were a couple seals down there. 

The clouds opened up a little bit, so we got a slightly better view:
The Cape of Good Hope isn't the southerly-most point in Africa, but it is an important navigational landmark. 

We then drove into Cape Town for the first time. Our hotel is super posh and in a posh area. 

Our French bistro restaurant's menus snootily reminded us not to bother dining celebs.
